Apologies if this does duplicate another thread... I hunted awhile but couldn't find the right one!
I'm finding myself increasingly interested in a certain degree of attachment parenting: am aiming for as natural as possible a birth (midwife-led) and babywearing for sure, and probably exclusive breastfeeding. May consider expressing so that DH can bond with Junior via the odd bottlefeed
We've got a Moses basket and a swing-crib to provide variety in finding out what Junior will take to, but I've been reading about co-sleeping too. I'm not sure it's 100% for us, but suspect it could solve the age-old worry about 'you'll get no sleep in the first few months'... especially with the BF part. Toying with the idea of whether a Moses basket right by the bed could be a compromise? Hubby is a SOUND sleeper, so may not wake as readily if littl'un is in the bed. I've heard about the 'sidecar-beds', but surely having the Moses basket nearby is almost the same? Just with an extra 'pickup' rather than a 'scooch across'...
Am due in 8 weeks, so would be really interested to hear your thoughts First-timer's nerves!
