Today is Valentine’s Day

And a rather wonderful thing is happening

David is moving back into our bedroom

After 9 months of sleeping on Bea’s bedroom floor

We have taken the mattress out of her room

And tonight for the first time

She fell asleep in her bedroom on her own

She is such a good girl at bedtime

I am guilty of forgetting how very young she is

Tonight I watched her put on her own pyjamas

Choose her stories

Listen intently to four books

She can be an absolute madam

But she is wise beyond her years

And has the biggest heart

Look at bea’s little face! I set up a treasure hunt just for her. She was searching for chocolate hearts all around the garden. Love this little Beatrice bug! #valentinesday #treasurehunt #chocolatehearts #motheranddaughter #meandmydaughter #mamalife #mymotherhood #myhappycapture #valentinesday #valentinesplay @jojomamanbebe

I digress …

Today is Valentine’s Day

And I am going to be bedsharing

Not just with 9 month old Edie

But also with my husband

We are lucky enough to have a large enough bed to do this

Though we will share a bed we will not be sharing covers

We will follow the safer co-sleeping guidelines that I talk about here

We shared our bed with Bea for two and a half years

I am thinking that with Edie it will not be for quite so long

As losing Tilda has made it impossible for me to use a cot

I think we are going to buy

Or most likely make

Edie a daybed like this one

And transition her into it at around 18 months

If you are going to be having a baby soon

And are thinking about where your precious bundle will sleep

It is important that whatever you choose

You follow safer sleep guidelines

Provided by The Lullaby Trust

If you are thinking of cosleeping

But do not want to share your bed

Then it is possible to buy a bedside crib

Meaning that you can keep your baby close to you throughout the night

While in their own sleep space

I think if our circumstances had been different

I could have bought David one of these as a Valentine’s gift

And he would have been delighted to have not only the whole of his bed back

But also the whole of his wife!

If you or someone you know is having a baby soon

Or has a baby up to the age of six months

In memory of Matilda Mae

Promoting safer sleep

And highlighting the work of The Lullaby Trust

I am very excited to be giving away a bedside crib

I am very excited to be giving away a Tutti Bambini CoZee Bedside Crib

I had a good look at one at The Baby Show

Before Edie was born

And they are beautiful

They would make a stunning new baby gift

Or a present for your husband or partner this Valentine’s

The promise of you and their bed!
