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!!

Co-slept with both my girls, but when I was pregnant with
no2 I thought it would be a good idea to try my then 4 year
old in her own bed, as I couldnt imagine where we would all
fit if there were '4 in the bed'. 3 nights of total trauma
but the thing that really convinced me was the 4 year old

Hi Raelene,
No policies as such, but I quite like placing the mattress of the baby cot
beside the bedrail (tucked quite firmly into the mattress) as a little safety
feature.Widely used in the Kimberley. The Sids brochure we use in Vic has a
little spiel on co-sleeping which I try to show to
Hi all,
We have a co-sleeping policy where I work so women who haven't got lots of
pain relief on board are encouraged to cuddle up with their babies.
I have long thought that we get a glimse of the race memory of co-sleeping
when we have a cat or dog on the bed and we often dont move or feel
Hi Raelene,
We have a policy that allows co-sleeping.We had more concerns about
babies falling out of bed(did actually happen) rather than them being
smothered by mums so our policy just makes sure the bed rail is up on
which ever side of mum the baby is sleeping with a pillow against the
bed

Hi all,
A friend of mine a really nice future midwife from Finland is looking for a
place in Australia, where she could do a 3 month training in antenatal care and
birthing. This would take place some time in Jan-May 2008. She would love to be
able to do both hospital / birthing centre and

Well, I co-slept with the kids (4,6,8) last night on the trampoline with the
labrador snuffling underneath whilst we watching the stars come out and the
comet on the south skyline as well. They are ratty today, my hips ache like
anything, but the 8 yr old is SO happy - that's what memories

Mum gives birth in toilet
Jane Metlikovec
January 24, 2007 12:00am
A MOTHER says her baby daughter was born in a hospital toilet bowl and had
to be rescued after staff ignored her screams for help.
Kay, 24, was in the final stages of labour when she was rushed by ambulance
to Monash Medical
I can obviously see why this mum's distressed, but I can help ask why she was surprised no one offered her Panadol. Having been in labour my fair share of times, never has it been offered and I think I would have laughed if it had been!

Talk about over dramatising.
Many many bubs enter the world in toilets as we all know - while I feel
sympathy that this woman was unprepared for a very fast birth, I feel for the
midwives who are being blamed for this very normal turn of events.

Yep. A fast, intense birth can be traumatic; but it's also a healthy, normal
event regardless. It all sounds a bit ridiculous and comical. Personally I'd
be thankful for the privacy and lack of intervention that birthing in a toilet
provides! The comment about not even being offered a
It reminds me of the article a couple of years ago criticising the lower rate
of epidurals in Tassie. Some of us think that's good ; ) I hope this woman gets
some debriefing and FWIW I always tell hospy birthing mamas to birth in the loo
although perhaps not directly into the toilet itself... I
During my first year out as a fully fledged midwife I was giving handover
when I heard my buzzer go another midwife answered it and then it went again
so I went in and the multi who I had just put in there was in the process of
catching her own baby whilst sitting on the toilet. Talk about the
The comment about not even being offered a panadol suggests the Mama wanted
a managed (medicated) birth and perhaps she's distressed that she didn't get
that; maybe in time it will become something she is thankful for, instead.
I doubt it Felicity..the cynic in me says that theres a
That news article is good old fear-mongering at its finest. The pity is
not that this woman birthed on the toilet, but that she didn't get
reported as saying I birthed on the loo! What a story for the
grandkiddies! ;) ;)

You know what, I have a different take on this. If the newspaper article has
reported accurately what the parents said (and I highly doubt they have, but
for the sake of argument lets give themt he benefit of the doubt!), there are
some serious failings of expectations here and little empathy
