What are everyone's opinions on this, especially in light of news stories like this one: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...isk-times-higher-baby-sleeps-parents-bed.html
When my son was a baby we ended up co-sleeping quite a lot, more out of necessity than choice although I did enjoy the closeness with him. I always followed the safety 'rules' and I did my research and was quite assured at the time that it was as safe as, if not safer than, having him sleep in a cot.
Then I read the above article and now I'm not so sure! I wasn't particularly planning on co-sleeping again this time round as we did have a bit of trouble getting DS out of our bed when the time came, but I kind of felt like it was an option if I really needed to catch up on some sleep. But reading something like that scares me a bit, so what are everyone's views? Not trying to spark a debate or anything, just genuinely interested to see what people think.
