We don't agree!

You poor thing Laurab. Have you had a chat with DP yet? Perhaps you could talk about it and reach a compromise?

Have you thought about when YOU would ideally like to have your son move to his own bed? haha maybe never, they are pretty cuddly! But if you were thinking maybe around one for instance, perhaps you could say that you'll revisit the situation at 6 months, making no promises either way IYKWIM?

At any rate, good luck!

Hi Laura.
Does he have his day time sleeps in the cot? Maybe you could compromise a little and have him go to sleep in the cot at whatever time you put him down for the night (our time tends to be about 9ish) and when he wakes up bring him to your bed for the rest of the night. That is what I do occasionally, so much easier than getting out of bed again!!
Are you worried about SIDS if he is not sleeping with you? You could get one of those monitors that has the motion sensor thing too. They are a little dear but you can't put a price on peace of mind.
I HTH a little It's never easy when we disagree with our DH

Thanks for all you ideas guys
Last night I had a chat to DH about how I was feeling and he agreed to let me move the cot into the bedroom for now.Little does he know I plan on taking off one of the sides and pushing it right up next to the bed so he can be right next to me!It took some convincing but I got want I want.He says only for a month or two...i'll tackle that hurdle when I get to it.
I love my little man and I just can't bare the thought of him waking up scared and insecure because I'm not there.

OMG have a look at those chops! No wonder you wont let him go....what a cutie!

The cot by the bed is a great idea, tell DH that when babies are secure they go to sleep better, cos its true.

Glad you got what you wanted! We're going to take the side off too. It makes things a lot easier, and all three of you really will sleep better! And I agree with Lulu, he is SUCH a cutie, can't wait to meet you guys in person!

[Ami]

Yay! Good on you for really working for what you want, congratulations!!

I have had the side off the cot, and cot pushed up next to my bed since Eva was born, and it works for us really well. The ease of comforting and feeding is really good for us both, and we both sleep better for it.

Goodluck, I hope it continues to work out well. And enjoy your sleep and cuddling up next to your gorgeous little man!
