The Co-Sleeper...love it!!

This is sweet Noah David sound asleep in the co-sleeper, one of my newest, most favorite baby must-haves!!  It's the size of a pack 'n play (and can actually convert to one if needed), except one side of it is the same height of our bed, and it's attached to our bed.  That way, Noah David and I can be close all night (and for naps!)...and for night feedings!  It's absolutely wonderful, and I wish I'd discovered it when Daniel Isaac was a baby...would have saved us a lot of unnecessary up-and-downs at night.  I barely even wake up to feed Noah David, and the only time I actually get up is if he has a dirty diaper (I change the wet ones right there in the bed).  This goes up to 30lbs., too, so he won't out grow it too soon.  Co-sleeping reduces the risk of SIDS, as well as naturally assists with bonding and attachment parenting.  For more information from a professional, you can visit www.askdrsears.com.  Ok, my co-sleeper infomercial is done...hold on to your hats because the sling infomercial will be next...and then perhaps attachment parenting and then perhaps Dr. Sears...the list is endless!

    I'm so glad to find another attachment-parenting sister!! Woo hoo for Dr. Sears! His big white and purple "baby book" gets used quite often in our house. We tried the whole co-sleeping deal but it didn't work out so well for us. :-( We were all keeping each other awake at night, so she was in her crib about 2 1/2 weeks after she was born. This is one baby who loves her crib! We do take lots of naps together though.
    Yay for attachment parenting, yay for slings, double-yay for breastfeeding! Glad Noah David is doing so well!
