I am so glad to see this! My husband and I prided ourselves on the fact that we have always responded quickly to our sons needs, awake or asleep. He goes down to sleep in his own cot from 7pm, wakes between 5-6am for a bottle and then comes into bed with us for an hour or so until its time to get up. As a result, he is a very lively, happy and confident little 10 month that has not shown any signs of separation anxiety and loves the company of new people.

He will only be a baby for a little while and we love having him in bed with us as it is so beautiful listening to him chat and watching him sleep - granted we have unwanted fingers up our nose and Dads chest hair takes alot of pulling!! I never really understood what the big deal was with the co-sleeping idea - as long as the parents are happy with it, then its great!!

I am a great believer that everyone has their own way and they decide what is good for them and their baby - but I must admit that I am so glad that some research has been done on the softer/gentler approach. I don't feel like I am the odd one out now!

Lots of love
