i would have said that co-sleeping is far more 'traditional' than mum & dad in together & baby off at the other end of the house!

just wanted to let you know that we're co-sleepers as well. DS & i were in the big bed to start with but after a while i felt guilty that DP was in the spare room now DS & i share a mattress on the floor in DS' room & DP is back in the big bed. when DS seems ready, we'll convert his cot to a toddler bed & i will slowly move out of the room. i hope it's quite soon because i am a little over the sleeping on the floor on a small matress but i do feel like i've had the most beautiful opportunity to bond with my baby.

i think the idea of having the toddler bed in your room is a great one. there's no hurry really, is there? i was talking to my hairdresser about co-sleeping & (even though she doesn't have kids) she said she doesn't know of any one of her friends that hasn't co-slept with their children at some point. and she reckoned that the ones with two often had dad in with one & mum with the other
