Yes! So true. As a permanent P/T night-duty person, I hear the "don't
want to get him/her into a bad habit" far too often. I find by night 2/3
they are so tired, they think that co-sleeping is a possibility and I
encourage them fully!
Mine still manage to find their way into our bed, and the youngest little
possum is 4!! But at least they don't wander in until 4-5am now.

It's not necessarily the midwives preventing co-sleeping. I often hear 'the
baby's been awake all night. Would go to sleep and wake up as soon as I
put
him down.' When suggestions are made to co-sleep, they don't want to
"start bad habits". a lot of women are influenced by their mothers,
partners etc, who don't approve of co-sleeping., thank God the influence
on
breast feeding isn't quite as strong as it used to be. It's strange, these
little ones are expected to sleep on a hard, cold surface after been
snuggled up listening to mum for months. If I remember right a
co-sleeping
policy was short and sweet. Mum had to be sedative free, the bedside up and
bed as low as possible.
