I never even contemplated co-sleeping before I got pregnant. I'm ashamed to admit I thought it was dangerous, created bad habits and was reflective of needy parenting. Oh how my views have changed with all the reading I've been doing and with my growing attachment to my little belleh-monster! I can't wait to snuggle in with her.
BUT... hubby is still pretty skeptical. He is an extremely heavy sleeper (I can roll him out of bed and he'll hit the floor and not wake up!!) so fears that he will smother bubs inadvertently. He is not a heavy drinker but does often have a beer or two after work and I too am afraid that this will compromise our little girl's safety.
The other issue is bedding - I get SO cold and really love my doona. What's the alternative? When it says 'no adult bedding' in a co-sleeping article, what does that mean? Hubby is very asthmatic and has really reacted to blankets in the past which is why we have a doona instead. What do you use to keep warm but keep baby safe?
