First and second removable padding member are received in the pockets of the central cloth bedding portion to maintain an infant on the central cloth bedding portion. The generally rectilinear area of the co-sleeper can itself define a pocket for receiving backing materials such as absorbent or reinforcing pads. A process of breast feeding the confined infant from the co-sleeper is disclosed where the head of an infant in the co-sleeper is placed adjacent the breast of a nursing human and the padding partially withdrawn to provide infant access to the nursing breast while still confining the infant to the co-sleeper.
