We're co-sleeping FULLTIME

[Indadhanu]

YAY! Well, almost full-time, she has her first little bit of sleep in the cot at the end of our bed, then when she wakes (about 10pm) she's in with us.

It started with me sneaking her into bed to feed and leaving her with us, and Shel said something like "why is she always in our bed?" which made me think she didn't want her to be with us so I started putting her back in the cot. After two nights Shel says to me "why isn't Jazzy with us anymore" so I told her I thought she didn't want her iwht us, and Shel said that she likes having her close. Plus she pointed out that we ALL sleep better with her in with us.



So we've got our princess in with us again. She spent the first 6 weeks in our bed, then moved her out. Now shes back in, and we all sleep so much better. Nothing beats baby snuggles (though I could do without the hickies she's leaving on my boobs when she goes in for the midnight snack and misses her target LOL). And I actually sleep better when shes next to me, I feel more secure, knowing shes safe next to me, I was always waking up and checking on her when she was in the cot (yes, a whole 2m away, but still, it seems like a lot longer when you're lying there waiting to hear a breath.

So YAY I just wanted to post a YAY to us co-sleep (and Shel finally realising that I sleep better with her next to me, and I am MUCH nicer when I've had a good nights sleep). LOL!

lol @ the hickeys

I think Shel needs to come and talk to DH - he doesn't want to do it - too scared of rolling over on her (fair enough - he's 2 metres tall and 130kg)

But its sooo nice having bubby cuddles..

I know what you mean about feeling better with her next to you Leasha, I would have a horrible night if Matisse wasnt next to me!

DH has slept on the lounge most of the time as he is scared of rolling onto her, sooner or later he will feel better... i'll keep her on my side anyway!!

Yay Leash!
DH was too scared to have Muffin in bed with us at the beginning, but now he can't go to sleep unless she is touching him with her arm. So, consequently, she goes to sleep in the middle!

At the moment though, I am trying to get her to stop wriggling so much! She gets out of her wrap and OMG is she a worm!!!!!!!!!!!
