This photo of Joe reminded me of the to cot or not to cot debate. He didn't have a very close relationship with his (as you can see, it doesn't have that lived in look). When he was born my health visitor was quite dismissive of cots and the midwives were happy for him to be in my bed in hospital and we continued that at home. With Isaac I didn't give it much thought and he has always, very contentedly, slept in our bed. The official line now seems to be a bit different and my current midwife has already passed on the 'in a cot, feet to foot' advice. This article in the Guardian, and it's comments stream, shed a bit of much needed light.
