where does baby sleep after getting home?

Co-sleeping is great for not needing to fully get up to feed through the night, so you do get more sleep that way.

Couldn't agree more.

Im just wondering why SIDS is unheard of with co-sleeping? Is it because they are also children (cultures) that don't vaccinate? Would really like to know if anyone has an answer. I just cannot see that it would make a difference. (especially inthis day and age with all the monitors). Thanks xo

Meg, I have no idea why SIDS would be unheard of with co-sleeping (and I doubt it could prevent the SIDS cases that occur during day sleeps) but in my case I woke up in a flat panic one night because Imran had stopped breathing. It was only after I gave him a full-on shake that he took a huge gasp for breath (but didn't wake up). Had I been sleeping in a seperate room and relying on a monitor I never would have woken up and my gorgeous little Imran would be another SIDS statistic.
It took me months before I could sleep well again after that.

There's also a theory that the baby regulates him/herself to your own breathing & heartbeat.

Wow Dachlostar that is scary. Im glad all was well. And Kaz that is an interesting point too. I have done a mixture with my girls. The reason I didn't continue co-sleeping was because I am SUCH a light sleeper, I just woke up continuously. It was good for the feeding and that's why I started.
I guess I'll play it by ear again. I guess after 9 months in the womb it must be strange being taken out of that environment totally. I might do some more research into it.
