I just read a bit of a thread about co-sleeping. I've been too scared doing it with DD. I am now expecting my DS and am just wondering about some practicalities.
Lots of people say that their DCs could just latch on at night and they wouldn't even be woken. So do you all sleep naked? I always leaked so much milk, I had to wear a bra at night with pads to stop the leaking, so in the nuddies wouldn't be an option for me.
How do you cover yourself? I assume the baby mustn't be under the duvet, so how do you avoid the duvet touching him?
How do you actually sleep peacefully? Whenever DD slept on my chest, I would lie stiff and sore trying not to move so she wouldn't wake.
BTW I'm happy to be guided towards some website that has info about safe co-sleeping. Everybody always says, read up on it, but so far I couldn't find any good/helpful websites with actual practical tips. The ones I found just say, it's brilliant for bf and it's scaremongering if people advise against it, but not so much about it working out.
Thanks in advance for your help.
