Hi Raelene
My husband and I Co-slept and continue to do so with our two children.
Infact when they are not sleeping with us they are sleeping together in one
of their beds (super cute).
My husband and I never worried about smothering them and I found it somewhat
troubling that hospital
I put on almost 20kg and mine had to be broken after the birth :) I
know it's just anecdote, but I find this stuff interesting.

There is heaps of info out there in cyberspace on co-sleeping.
To add to your list - look up any information by Dr James McKenna. He is
from US or Canada and spoke at an ABA conference in Hobart in 2005. He was
fantastic!
I grew up in Asia (parents worked there from when I was a baby) and the

Maybe I am alone in this but having coslept with our first and used a
cot for #2 I found the opposite to be true - I get so much better
quality sleep without the baby in bed with me that it is definitely
worthwhile getting up even three times a night to feed her and then

Know where you are coming from Jo. LOL
We started co-sleping with #3, shift in ideas and necessity as he was a
shocking sleeper. Even with being in bed with me he needed to be rocked for

there's always the good old side-car cot (remove side from cot, tie the cot
to the side of the adult bed so it doesn't slip away from the bed, place a

We did this and #3 still managed to find his way to the end of it and fall
out of bed. I put a high backed chair in the way, so he fell out of the
other side of the bed.
The answer was to put the mattress on the floor, and there it stayed for a

Hi all! 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. Same thing happened with second child 12
months later. On and off they co-slept and, even now, when visiting
Hear, hear Suzi!
I would have to agree with you. After two years working with women all
around this amazing country of ours, I still say that my eight years in
Kalgoorlie taught me the most.
Hi Raelene and team. Good Luck with the co-sleeping issue. I have found
