Yeah, we coslept as well. We don't drink or do drugs, so we weren't in that risk group. Neither of us has been the type to fall out of bed (which would indicate lack of physical awareness during sleep). We put the baby between us, so she wouldn't roll off. We kept the room warm so there wouldn't be a risk of heavy quilts suffocating her.
And it was fantastic. No crying, no separation anxiety. Feeding was easy, so we all slept well.
Same experience. We made sure the room temperature was warm enough to not use blankets (no risk of suffocation), but not too hot for the baby.
We went from sleeping 2 hours per WEEK (I cannot describe to you how it felt), to getting 8 hours on the first co-sleep.
Never looked back.
