RE: [ozmidwifery] co -sleeping

Title: Message

I have co-slept with my new bub since the day he was born. No one in the hospital complained about me feeding bub in bed or snuggling up for sleep and it was a tiny little bed too! I just tucked him in and made sure he wouldn't fall out. In our bed we often have the baby, our 3 year old  and my husband and I and sometimes the cat at the end of the bed. My husband often camps out on the floor because of lack of space : ).  There have been a couple of occaisions where I've woken up to find the quilt partially over bub's head but I think that I instinctively woke up to pull it back. We know when things are wrong... that's one of the wonders of intuition. Now I always drop the quilt down to baby level and make sure my head is at his head level... that alleviated the quilt over head problem. Other than that, all of us have slept beautifully and we are all alive too (although hubby is just barely alive : ) ).   Cheers,   Cas. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pinky McKay Sent: Wednesday, 23 July 2003 8:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] co -sleeping Five alive and all co-slept too! I just realised today that I dont actually personally know anyone who has NEVER taken their children into their bed - my neighbour once took her whining bull terrier puppy into her bed, and shes a super houseproud lady!
