Re: [ozmidwifery] re co-sleeping
My oldest grandson is so used to co-sleeping that, when he was about 5 or 6 and we were discussing sleeping arrangements (must have been staying at my place or something) he thought that his stepfather could sleep with me in my bed! I don't think so!!

Just a word on the co-sleeping issue. Was told not to when I had my first child who is now 30 but tiredness won me over in the first couple of weeks so into the bed she came.

On and off they co-slept and, even now, when visiting and staying over (although they only live 5 minutes away), they jump at the chance to sleep in bed with Mum when Dad is away working. My grandson always sleeps with me when he stays as does my almost 4 year old grand daughter. My youngest daughter also co-sleeps with her children. Never any problems other than the occasional falling out of bed but the mattress on the floor does the trick there!

Re: [ozmidwifery] re co-sleeping
Hi Pinky, I missed the show, but I found the transcript (love the ABC) http://www.abc.net.au/gnt/future/Transcripts/s1058920.htm It looks like it came off quite well... sounds like everyone (inc. the doc that runs the sleep school) made it clear that they support co-sleeping. Don't know about the quote (by the doc) "Women seem to develop this kind of oestrogenic fog that they move around in." though- what the?! Well done to you thanks for letting us know about the show.
