Comments on: One down, hundreds to go… ? http://averygoodyear.net/baby-stuff/one-down-hundreds-to-go/ What happens when you take an American girl, give her a Canadian husband, a dual-citizen daughter, two Mexican dogs and a German car? Anything goes when it's A Very Good Year!

But it really was lovely to have her there with us. I'm so glad it worked out so well for you! I never mastered the art of falling asleep while nursing.

It seems like one of those things I could do that would annoy the piss out of my husband, but oh well.

I gradually started sneaking her into her crib and when she was sleeping four or five hours at a time I went back to sleeping in my own bedroom... it worked beautifully...

The family bed is wonderful! I co-slept and breastfed four babies, and loved every minute. I put a mattress pad under the sheet to help with leaking - that will get better in time. As far as switching around, you could look at a bedrail, or get a noodle (those things that kids use in swimming pools, long flexible tubes, you know?) and put it under the fitted sheet right at the edge of the bed. Baby can't roll over it. Or, sometimes I would completely flip around (feet to head) if baby was unusually mobile and I worried about having them on the outside. There's a solution there somewhere... :D Good luck and congrats again! Congratulations! The family bed is wonderful! I co-slept and breastfed four babies, and loved every minute.
