My favourite line is when he says to me "but I don't sleep as well when he's in out bed, because I'm worried I will squash him" - says he that doesn't wake up to his cries when he is on our bed. As opposed to DS ebing in the cot and I make DP get up in the cold and get him AND put him back to bed, because he's the one that doesn't want me to cosleep. So I get to stay warm and snug!

Can you simply put the cut in your bedroom? It's not as easy, but it makes my DP happy. It's still classified as co-sleeping, it still means you don't have to get out of bed, and it's still some form of independence for your baby - so an easier transfer down the line.

I think part of the problem is that guys aren't cuddly creatures so they can't comprehend the "babies just want to be near their mummies" thing. And yet when DS is in the cot in his bedroom he wakes every three hours, and if he sleep with me, he sleeps most of the night.

Ahh, men, what can you do
