You have slept in many places in your little life. Like most babies, movement lulls you to sleep - loving arms, slings, Ergo carriers, the car and occasionally the pram. But when it comes to sleeping on an unmoving surface, you struggle.
When you were tiny and new, we tried to put you to sleep in a bassinette in our room. This didn't work, so we quickly moved to a small co-sleeper, a little miniature bed for you in our bed, between us. This worked well until you grew out of it, so then we began to co-sleep without it.
There are many things I love about co-sleeping: feeling you next to me, being able to soothe and feed you practically in my sleep and having you wrap your little arms around me in the night. It reached a point, though, where the three of us slept better with you in our room but not in our bed. So eventually we set up a porta-cot next to our bed and put you in this.
Turns out porta-cots aren't that comfortable for babies to sleep in every night. And so we have made the decision to move your big cot from your room (which you have never actually slept in) to ours. You are sleeping better now, but still come into bed with us for part of the night.
Sweet dreams.
