Hi Sarah, my first reply was a bit brief because I have a sick LO at the mo and a bigger one to keep up with. I do
Think it's important to remember the SIDS guidelines before making an informed choice. For us, to maximise sleep all round we rearranged our sleeping entirely - and made an extra adult space elsewhere (where it was quiet). If you have a spare room or even a living room couch it's worth thinking about DH or you taking turns sleeping with baby. I realised part of my wakefulness was concern for OHs sleep (he was fine but I still worried). I slept much better on my own with LO. But you will whatever suits your family best.
