Now that I've got the cloth diaper thing figured out (for now) I'm moving onto the next thing...co-sleeping.
We have a queen sized memory foam mattress. It's not like super-duper soft, but it is soft. It gently gives to your body at all the pressure points. We originally got this mattress because I can't sleep on firm beds or beds with coils. I'm a very light sleeper.
I doubt we can get rid of our bed and replace the mattress in time for the baby. So I was just wondering how I could co-sleep safely in this bed...I heard memory foam beds weren't recommended for co-sleeping.
My plan is to just dress warmly and wear only a bathrobe for sleep if there's a cooler night, and not to use any blankets on my side of the bed. I figure I could sleep with the baby in the crook of my arm to support him. We'll be on the side of the bed that's against the wall, or sleeping opposite from my husband, our heads by his feet. My husband never moves at all when he sleeps.
What do you guys think? Doable?
