Kalgoorlie taught me the most.
Hi Raelene and team. Good Luck with the co-sleeping issue. I have found
that Australia wide many "policies"
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 and
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

shocking sleeper. Even with being in bed with me he needed to be rocked for
long periods through the night. Finally after 2 years we had our first full

worthwhile getting up even three times a night to feed her and then
put her back in the
