bouncesky I read a really great book when pregnant with DS called Three in a Bed, all about co sleeping, how to do it safely, and how - and I mean this really nicely - ideas like co sleeping will make your baby clingy are nonsense. When - or even if! - you move your baby into their own room, there might possibly be teething problems because, well, it's a change. But some babies have loved going into their own room, even if the parent loved co sleeping! So much of it is down to the individual baby.
I personally don't like those bednests - expensive, not necessarily safe and have a short lifespan (six months) so in the event that you both end up enjoying co sleeping, you'd have to find another solution. I saw an official co sleeping cot in Mothercare fro £200 - and was horrified! - but found this in Ikea, the Gulliver cot, that worked perfectly and only £65. One side comes off and it has two heights. It fits flush against one side of our bed so there's no gap and I used to roll DS back and forth across it to latch on in the middle of the night. We decided to co sleep long term but because it's a cot bed, it could easily be moved into baby's room.
I've added a pic of how we have ours set up.
panda your HCPs sound like a right pain in the backside! How could the sonographer not tell - especially given you have a completely different date to your MW! If it helps, I'll be 13 weeks for my scan so I don't think it's too much of a problem. So annoying for you though.
I can't believe some of you are 14 or 15 weeks along! It's going very quickly.
Durham really hoping the MS eases off soon. What a joke to call it MS though!
