Does anybody else ever feel bad about having their baby sleep in a cot, behind bars as it where, rather than in the parents' bed or a co-sleeper?
Read some time ago that when anthropologists asked the women in some remote tribe about breastfeeding at night the women asked the researchers whether it was true that in countries such as Europe and North America people put their babies in cages at night. And, when you think about it a cot is a cage- a comfortable one designed for the safety of its inhabitant, but still a cage.
So, have I gone soft (in the heart and in the head) or have others also felt like this?
And what do people do about sleeping arrangements? The more time goes on, the more I would like a co-sleeper while DH would like DS (nearly 8 months old) to move to his own room...
