Hi!
Am co-sleeping with DS (3 months). Am breastfeeding and find that this is a perfect arrangement. We (DH and I) really like having him close to us. It's lovely and cuddly!
We do have cot - beautiful Stokke Sleepi - which lives by my bed and baby will settle in it - but not as well as when with me.
I'm not in any hurry to change this arrangement as I feel that we are all benefiting from it - sleep, baby confidence in closeness with us etc.
However, I feel that social stigma is attached. Ante-natal group are all desperate to get babies in their own room . Does anyone else feel an air of disapproval when discussing sleeping with their baby?
Am I making a rod for my own back? I intend to BF for a year so feel that the nightfeeds are far less trouble if I don't have to get up out of bed to a crying baby.
