... a lot of my mum's and baby's are a bit astonished at work when I quite happily extol the wonders of co-sleeping (some people don't think it's very professional!?%!) and now with No 3 bub happily sharing my bed - and the whole family playing musical beds throughout the night, it's tons better than the controlled screaming (which I did with No 1 and I regret thoroughly).

Hi everyone,
Ivr just done an interview with ACA this morning about co-sleeping they are placing infra red cameras in mums bedrooms tomorrow night to watch them co-sleeping (!!). as well as interviewing these two mums.
They sent three young lads - the journalist and camera/ sound guys were all young childless men- which makes me feel a whole lot more confident - as they probably have no particular bias.
the "other side" is going to be an Adelaide Forensic specialist -Professor Rodger Baird - anyone know his "take" on co-sleeping??
I made the point that I feel its an insult to assume that a mothers body is little more than a lethal rolling pin and that mothers are more responsive than inert cot mattresses.
There were questionsre safety/ sex life/ dependency - etc etc - it will of course depend how they cut this -they kept trying to get me to say taht co-sleeping was THE thing to do when actually I think all mothers need support however they best sleep.
My interest is tho in Prof Baird - his name is familiar but I cant remember why and being forensic I am certain he will claim cosleeping is dangerous!!.
Pinky
