I have just had a new baby, there's quite a gap between my other children and this one, with the others i had them in bed with me for the first few weeks and this was encouraged, i have also had this baby in bed with me since leaving hospital but the midwife told me today that this was dangerous and a factor in cot death, putting her in her crib even though by the side of my bed seems so far away but i don't want to put her at risk either, i don't know what to think i feel torn, what advice have others had?
