co-sleeping is awesome. hubby has moved into what we had planned to be the nursery (now we call it the bachelor pad) and liberty and i are in the "princess room" snuggled up every night on our queen sized bed. i love smelling her hair and now she's bigger i can put her on the boob and fall asleep again. i also hide dummies under my pillow in case i need them in the middle of the night so i don't have to get up out of bed!! she sleeps in her cot in the daytime though and sometimes at the start of the night.
We're another co-sleeping family. 2.5 yo DS comes into our bed at about 4/5 am most mornings and ends the night next to me. He starts in his own bed which is how he has mostly always done it, quite happily and then chooses when or if he needs to come to us. I admit that I need at least a few hours of being able to sleep deeply and spread out but after about 3am i'm happy to be more accommodating I agree... it's IS so much easier to co-sleep in the early days than worrying about SIDS etc. and getting up to check breathing etc. And especially when you need to feed throughout the night.
woo hoo Leasha!!! CONGRATS!!!! wish i was still co-sleeping i was just getting shiat sleep with Jack in our bed... so i have now taken one of the sides off the cot and it is right next to my side of the bed...close enough (arms reach)
