My ds starts the night in his cot, but ends up in my with me bed at some stage through the night. I find if he sleeps with me all night, he doesnt seem to sleep very well, feeds more than hourly and is grizzly and tired in the mornings. If I have him in his own bed til about 2ish, then bring him in with me when he wakes, he will only have a couple of feeds overnight, and wakes up much happier. He sleeps in his cot during the day. He had a bassinette when he was first born that he would sleep in occasionally, but most slept in my arms in the day, or in my bed, and was with me all night. My dd never slept with me, and life was so much harder with her when she was a baby. Co sleeping is soooo much easier on everyone. If I could go back, I would have dd in with me too, I never got that new baby exhaustion with ds that I had with dd, and I had a husband to help me out back then and no other kids to look after!!!! If Im lucky enough to have more babies, they will all sleep with me.
