A word of caution on the co-sleeping thing. My 7 yr old son slept with us until he was like 4. He still wants someone to stay with him until he goes to sleep. I was bound and determined NOT to have my daughter like that. Since day 1, unless she was really sick, she has been in her bed. She knows this and that is where she wants to go to sleep. Now, all that being said, it's sweet and everything to sleep with the little bundle of joy, but it is dangerous, and it will give you many more sleepless nights. Just some advice, use it or toss it.
