pink , yall right , babies usually sleep with parents in the end .. why ? how much time you want to spend waking up in the middle of the night to bring your baby out and feed them, then once they fall asleep put them back again and risk waking them up ... usually I will bf on the bed and once she fall asleep , let her sleep on the bed , if she wake cuddle her by yr side and they sleep again... the cot wasnt practial at least for me and when I had my confinement lady , she was sleepign on the floor on the mattress, she did mention getting up and down was tiring as well ... when my mum took over , I have to leave my #1 at her house , its not practical to get 2 cots at 2 places ... take up too much space , the yao lan works well, at some point when you chg diapers for the baby, my mum move her down on the matress and she sleeps thru so that's when the training starts at about year1 .. before that I don have issue when I bring her out , when she is tired , she jsut fall asleep in the pram while she drinks her milk ..
