Co sleeping?!

Question

How do you safely cosleep? Tips or pictures anything advice please. My 9 week old hates his crib, the bassinet, rock n play, swing all of it! The second i lay him in between me n my husband he sleeps great. Of course im exhausted and letting him sleep in the bed lately bc im able to sleep a little more but i know its still can be dangerous so im just looking for some helpful advice!  Thanks!

Answer

Have him on the side instead of in themiddle of you two. I usually place my baby as high as possible in the bed, so I dont accidentaly roll over or pull the covers over her head. And make sure your baby has his own blanket, if any at all.

Answer

We put the crib next to the bed with the side rail removed so it is like a sidecar. I when I do make it to the bed sleep with her in the crib with my arm either next to her or with her in the crook of my arm. She likes to start the night in her swing then I try to move to the bed after first wake up. She would wake and cry so much that until recently I spent most nights with her either on my chest or in the swing downstairs so sad could sleep for work. So nice that she doesn't scream when I go to lay in bed with her now. I am a light sleeper so I wake before she is crying for food when she is in my arms. Most times my husband doesn't even realize that she woke now.

Answer

Keep baby between you and the bed edge, not btwn you and husband.  Breastfeed. Only light blankets and keep them low.  Make sure there isn't space between mattress and frame or headboard/footboard.  It's not safe if you are a smoker or obese.  Check out website of dr. James McKenna at Notre dame for a complete checklist.

Answer

I use a co-sleeper I put in the bed, I minimize pillows in the bed and I set the sleeper on top of my blanket so it Cant be pulled over the sleeper. I sleep on the side of him, so it's like a little "pocket" of blanket for me is if that makes sense.  Typically Dad sleeps on the couch but if he does sleep in the bed I have him sleep in the opposite direction so his feet are by the sleeper rather than his head so it really minimizes any interference from him with blankets/pillows/rolling over etc...

Answer

We have a Co-Sleeper it's by summer it's literally called Co-Sleeper by summer it is the best thing we have ever invested in now that she's getting a little too big for it me and my husband are very sad to see her go into her big girl bassinet. The Co-Sleeper bassinet goes in between you two in the bed.

Answer

She usually starts off sleeping right on my chest/belly, but likes to switch to this after her diaper change. Hubs is sleeping in another room. We are in the middle,  and I'm propped up.  We have sheets & blanket,  but I make sure they are at her armpits,  no higher. Fan running, and I make sure nothing is against her nose.  LO is almost 3 months and won't sleep in her pack n play unless she is swaddled, fed, rocked to bed. She also tend to spit up if she's straight on her back right after a feeding,  and I usually don't end up staying awake long enough to attempt to put her in.  Yup, there's that pack n play in the background. Saturday night should be fun.  We're sleeping at the in laws so we're bringing the pack n play for her to sleep in.

Here are safe co-sleeping guidelines: http://cosleeping.nd.edu/safe-co-sleeping-guidelines/

Answer

Baths before bed, wash baby bed time shampoo, bed time body wash, and rub bed time lotion, a waem bottle and boom.
My liddo one sometimes sleeps up to 5 hours.
He sleeps in his swing... it had a horizontal option. I never had him in thr crib.

Answer

No pillows or blankets should be in the bed and it really should only be mom in bed and no dad.

Answer

He sleeps in the crook of my arm so if he turns, rolls i feel it. No blankets or pillow under or near him. They make cosleepers for on the bed have you tried that? And if you bed share, make sure you aren't on drowsy medication, didn't drink before bed, and bend your knees when you lay on your side it can keep you from rolling on to baby.
