Here's a photo of that: http://www.beanproducts.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=001&Product_Code=10HPH&Category_Code=MaternityProducts Anyway, what I can't figure out is what to do with the baby during his or her naps. I'm sort of hoping to avoid a crib as it's likely we'll be moving 1-2 times before the baby turns 16 months, one of these being across the country. I'm actually considering just getting a normal twin or full mattress and putting it on the floor with no pillows, at least until the baby can crawl away and get into trouble. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated...as you can probably tell, I don't have kids yet - so I don't quite understand all the logistics/concerns. Thanks!

I have an almost-7-month-old boy and I've been reading your blog for a couple months now. At first, I didn't feel like we had much in common as I was trying to follow a somewhat Babywise schedule, but it just did not work for us. I realized that the time that they are little is just so short, and it's not worth stressing whether they sleep through the night right away or not. So lately, I have totally relaxed and we are part-time cosleepers now. :) I put him in his crib for all 3 naps a day, and then I put him down there at night, but he always ends up in our bed at some point through the night. It is nice to hear your thoughts on this and to hear some positive feedback on these two things! Thanks for this great post!

We are trying the methods you've mentioned and tonight he went down after about 10 minutes of fussing...but what do you do when they wake up in the middle of the night for nursing...he does not sleep through the night yet...I'm pretty sure I read somewhere you continue the same pattern....what exhausting work. I've read the No Cry Solution and have tried to get my son to stop associating sleep with the breast..yeah right...lol!! We're trying to wean him also...

I agree that it's important to be respectful of each child's and each parent's needs. My son coslept for 6months and then we started transitioning him to his bed for more of the night. He sleeps better alone and I sure do too. For the record there have been studies done that prove that children who are left to cry alone for long periods of time go into a fight-or-flight state. Their blood pressure rises and they are pumped with adrenaline. Personally, letting my son fuss/cry for 10mins or so was all I was comfortable with when he was a baby. Great post.
