I have the exact co-sleeper to which AdL linked, and it is still next to my side of the bed, but it's gathering dust now. Itwas a godsend the first two weeks home from the hospital after the c-section (so AdL, I don't think it's a waste of money), but mostly for daytime naps rather than nightime sleepling. Now that I'm up and about in the house, the baby has not been in the co-sleeper in weeks. That's not to say it's not useful. Putting the baby in it is a foolproof way to wake her up. It also is a handy receptacle for all the extra pillows I use to prop myself up with when nursing, which I don't want to have on the bed when the baby is in it. On the down side, it's kind of in my way when I have to get out of bed.
Sometimes I have the baby on the outside of the bed and I do feel more secure knowing that she would only fall into the co-sleeper rather than onto the floor.
I think your notion of swapping sides that the co-sleeper is on is really cute and thoughtful. Let us all know how that works out!
