We've ended up co-sleeping with our 10 week old, really just because every night it gets to the point that i just can't face putting her in her cot and her crying again. At the moment she is spending all evening on the sofa with me feeding and eventually falling asleep in bed with me at about 1am after a few attempts at putting her in her cot. It's not that I mind her being in bed with me and i do enjoy cuddling her but it's just not something i want to continue for months and months (she will always be welcome in our bed but just don't want it to be her bed). I want her to be able to stay at my mums occasionally when she's older and would love to be able to put her in her cot to sleep so me and DP can have a bit of the evening together. What I really want to know is if it is possible to co-sleep now but get her into her cot in a month or two or three (and if so - how?!!), or whether if I want her to sleep in her cot I need to be making more of an effort with this now?
I guess what I'm hoping to hear is that it's ok to co-sleep now and that in a couple of months it'll be easier to get dd sleeping in her cot. Got a feeling I'm making a rod for my own back though?
