My ds is 6mo. I co sleep, bf and he goes to sleep in my sling (for dog walks, and before I transfer him to his cot for naps and the evening) I pick him up when he cries etc etc Several older people have said I'm creating a rod for my own back and I probably am, but what is the worst that can happen? At the moment he only takes 10 minutes to go to sleep, we all get a good night sleep and everyone is happy.
Can someone who has also done the cosleeping, bf to sleep and sling thing tell me what happens? I know he will get heavy, but surely it doesnt happen overnight and as he grows, my technique will evolve too?
I know i take the path of least resistance, so what happens in the long run and why is it so bad?
Thankyou
