Has anyone out there tried >it? In regards to the legitimacy of having your new born in the one bedroom with you and your mate, my response will in all like- lihood generate a fair amount of flaming and disapproval. Go against the herd and have your baby stay with you in the same bedroom. Better yet why not the same bed? Don't worry, you won't squash the precious person. Imagine the HORROR that dawns upon the small awareness of a new born infant upon awakening in the cold dark chamber of its bedroom in its prison barred crib all alone after so recently secure in the warm,moist,pleasent womb of its mother with the sound of her heart and the presence of her LOVE. FLUSH the modern sacred value of privacy down the CULTURAL TOLIET where it came with all it "selfishness". If your concerned about SEX, the bedroom isn't too original. :-) Leave it for sleeping and having fun with your new member of your family. Better sill, if you nurse(highly recommended), you will find that all those trying curses of modern parenthood disappear such as lack of sleep,crying,formulas,up at all hours,etc. What joy you will also discover waking up with this new person in the bright early morning with its happy,heart-melting smile and clear shining eyes. Who can be grumpy in the morning with that? More importantly, the "MYSTERIOUS" crib death always occurs when the fragile little human is left alone sleeping; while it never occurs when the little baby is sleeping near those massive,warm,loving and protective life forms which are its parents. I have both a boy(now five) and a girl(two) which stayed in our bedroom with both myself and my wife. Both children are happy,well adjusted,no problems and along with good diet have never needed to see a doctor. Pediatricians, get in the unemployment line.:-) Gee, its only six months out of your whole life. Have fun!!! ------------------------------- Steve Newbegin Loral Instrumentation San Diego sdcc6 ---\ gould9 --\ ihnp4 ---->-->!sdcc3 ---->--->!loral!steve (uucp) sdcrdcf -/ sdcsvax -/ "All can know good as good only because there is evil" -- Lao Tsu "God created pain and grief for this purpose, to wit,to manifest happiness." -- Rumi -- ------------------------------- Steve Newbegin Loral Instrumentation San Diego sdcc6 ---\ gould9 --\ ihnp4 ---->-->!sdcc3 ---->--->!loral!steve (uucp) sdcrdcf -/ sdcsvax -/ "All can know good as good only because there is evil" -- Lao Tsu "God created pain and grief for this purpose, to wit,to manifest happiness." -- Rumi
