Ds 1 was a textbook 'contented baby' who followed a routine from day one,slept in her own cot in her own room, through the night until now atage 2, and never needed to be sloe to me and was not clingy etc. she was also bottlefed. i said i would NEVERA co sleep but now i have a 3month old who i am breastfeeding and well it is impossible sometimes for me to stay awake for her nightfeeds sitting up in bed when it would be so much COSIER and easier to drift off and feed her lying down next to me. this way i hardly even realise i've woekn to feed her. however i am not used to being needed so much night and day and i have visions of her being a big toddler who will always want to sleep with me and not give me my own space, and to be frank i miss cudling up to dh at night. but if i dont co sleep she wakes up a million times and sometimes not for feeding, just to be cuddled. during the day she naps alone and is an angel. what should i do. i dont feel like myself with her in my bed butttt its giving me more rest. am i perpetuating a bad habit, sorry to ramble
