Hi,

I reckon go with whatever works for you! It can be very hard to sleep next to a noisy baby. We still have bub in with us, but part of the reason that I decided on that was, that I think I remember reading on the sids website that the incidence of sids is reduced if a baby sleeps in its own cot, but in the same room as its parents for the first 6 months or something. Although I can't figure out why that would be? Anyway, that was one of the reasons, the other was that I suspected that I might not get any more sleep than I'm currently getting, as i might spend half the night up and down the hall to bub's room as oppossed to just reaching across to the cot.

However, you're not much good to anyone if you haven't had enough sleep though! Maybe you could trial it and see how it goes?
