co sleeping thoughts/ideas. what do you do?

Lauren
I sleep with baby right next to me and she is in a co sleeper basinett (snuggle nest) right next to me. We have been sleeping at night on the couch, we are just more comfortable there and it sounds weird but I feel like she sleeps better with noise (tv) than complete silence. I can also then just put my hand on her arm and I feel like it's comforting to her.  I lay down on the couch part and I have her on the basinett right in front of me on the chaise.  I am scared to death about sleeping together in the bed with her. Was wondering what people's thoughts are on co sleeping like that?  Do you feel like it poses the same risk of doing it?
