Outdoorsy, I'm sorry, I went all off on a Cosleeper review and didn't quite register that you have a waterbed.  I can't imagine any scenario where a cosleeper would be safe up against a waterbed mattress - you're right, you have...

We used the Arm's Reach Mini Convertible co-sleeper for 5 months and loved it!  In fact, since DD outgrew it, we've struggled to find the right sleeping arrangement.  I could hear her breathing and easily reach out and touch...

Wait - I thought...  well...  this describes most of my days!  I have a 9-month-old, and between nursing, wearing or holding her for naps, feeding her breakfast and lunch, and a little floor play time, the day evaporates...

tanyato, we are in exactly the same boat with my 9-month-old.  This morning our holistic family doc "prescribed" exactly the plan you devised, starting with one 3-4 hour "shift" for Dad each night, and increasing to two shifts if...
