In an attempt to get you to sleep for at least some of the night and day in your cot next to our bed (instead of IN our bed) we have introduced a cuddly toy. I tuck it between us when you feed, hoping that you will associate it with comfort and safety. When you drift off I gently extract my arm, which you so love to cling to, and replace it with your teddy. I feel conflicted about this. All three of us sleep so badly when you are in our bed, so I know it is the sensible option, but at the same time I know that the time where you will look to me for so much comfort and safety is fleeting.
