Any co-sleepers want to laugh at me for thinking of buying this?

\link{http://www.humanityinfantandherbal.com/humanityfamilybed.html\Or is it a good idea?}

I appear to have turned into a babywearing co-sleeper (DS2 asked very nicely, so I said OK then) but it doesn't sit well with my non-hippy tendencies and I need all the help I can get.

DS2 will be on the move soon and I don't want him falling out of bed. DS1 is still in his cot (he never wanted to co-sleep - much preferred the cot!) and doesn't want to move to a bed yet (and I'm in NO hurry to put him in one!) so it looks like co-sleeping is going to happen in Hunker Towers for a while at least.

This is a waste of money, right? Or is it? We can't put the bed against the wall because there's no room. The mattress on the floor is a faint possibility, I suppose, but not one I really want to do.

I'm rambling now. Tell me lentil-weavery things about bedsharing please.

You could probably just buy one of dutch roll pillows and put it under the sheet. I think you can buy them from debenhams. A lot cheaper too.

HM as you know I' a bit of a lazy parent as well Wink DD2 starts the night in her bedside cot next to me then whatever side she feeds from in the night she stays there (cos I'm asleep and don't move her back) I wish I had discovered bedside cots with DD1 they are fab. This morning part of me was asleep in it and DD2 was starfished in the middle of the bed. She sometimes naps in the day in it as well as as it's so far to the other side I know she's not going to roll off (if you know what I mean).

Mine cost £120 with mattress and converts to a regular cot in 30 seconds. I just see it as an extension to our bed.
