[ozmidwifery] co sleeping

[simsarch]

I  too am co sleeping with my six month old baby and am loving every bit of it.  She is my third child and I didn't do it with the other two (don't know why).  She tends to feed a lot at night which hasn't been a problem.  However, I don't know what to do now as I am returning to work in a month and don't know how my partner will cope with these night time grazings if I am out with a labouring woman.  Can anyone offer me any advice?  She probably feeds every 2 hours, but it is more of a snack than a decent feed.  we am getting plenty of pressure to do the controlled crying thing in order to get her feeding less frequently at night which we really don't want to do, but on the other hand we need to make the situation more manageable for my husband who doesn't have the boobs if I'm not there overnight.  Many thanks, Kathy
