Lex..
Ya it's good..cos I also don't want her to feel the need to sleep with me.. Make the room cute and put stuff that she likes.. I have a growth chart in her room with a lot of animals and she likes to name them all before she sleeps!! =)

Actually, not evil lah.. I feel like it's better.. I know a few of my friends who have such sleeping arrangements. But if you intend to breastfeed, then I feel being in another room is very troublesome.. For me, when bb needed her night feed, I just take her from the crib, lay her beside me and I fall asleep while she drinks and later for asleep.. So i get my well-needed rest.
