We did co sleeping from 6months to about 20 months with our daughter. Several suggestions - put your child in the middle, but sleep on top of your main blanket/comforter and use individual blankets for the adults, baby will probably not need one being in the middle of 2 adults. Once our daughter started to H between us, we moved her to a toddler bed right next to ours which could be a middle ground solution for you. We put the toddler bed next to the wall, and put our bed right next to it so she was still right next to me yet could not easily get free to roam during the night. Good luck!

Hello - we are looking for advice. Currently we live in Seattle and may be relocating to the DC area for a job move - we lived in DC for about 10 years and left there 4 years ago to come to Seattle, also for a job. We know the DC area has changed since we moved away, many additions of buildings, neighborhoods, etc. We lived in several areas around the DC area but now that we're parents we're looking for suggestions on neighborhoods inside or outside the District which are walkable to restaurants, coffee, kid friendly (parks, library) and easy to get to the metro.

There is a great new book called About What Was Lost: Twenty Writers on Miscarriage, Healing and Hope edited by Jessica Gross.
