My son spends the first part of the night in his bed then around 6am when he wakes up he comes to bed with me

They are only babies once..I hold her every night cause I know each day is closer to when she doesn't want snuggles anymore. Life is too short.

Except now that it's winter and we don't have money to put the heater on every night so sometimes I share my blanket with her but I only put it over her bottom half and I wear a sweater to bed so I'm not tempted to lift the blanket higher

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm not trying to be rude but I just don't understand how bed sharing increases risk of SIDS if you're careful about it. My baby is 5 mo and she doesn't really cuddle with me. She lays a couple inches away and I don't put any blankets on her or anything

I'm so sorry, I have a friend who lost her baby to sids too. That's the worst thing that can happen to a mother. Just to clear things up,I let her fall asleep in my arms then lay her down about a foot away where it's only a sheet
My daughter passed away from SIDS and bed sharing makes the risk of SIDS go way up PLEASE do NOT share a bed with your babies.. I would do anything to have my baby girl back. I know as a mommy you just wanna cuddle your babies all the time but it isnt safe and it can happen to anyone the safest place for them is in their own crib or bassinet by them selves with no blankets or stuffed animals or crib bumpers. Only a fitted sheet. Please don't share a bed with your babies I don't want anyone else to lose their baby.

thank you cj that means so much

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 I can't even imagine the pain
My baby sleeps with us, but not inbetween because my husband sleeps like a wild animal.
To
Same! I'm actually currently making him sleep in the living room bc he sleeps with a fan on and it's too cold for that but if it isn't on his snoring wakes her up 😐

My husband is the same so my LO sleeps on my chest . He won't sleep in his bassinet for more than 2-3 minutes.
We let Roman sleep with us from time to time when he can't sleep. He's only a month and we take precautions to make sure he doesn't get smothered. He's only a month so I don't think we'll have trouble getting him to a crib and his bassinet. Love your kid. Life's too short

Thank you for your comment and concern :)

I pray that god has put peace in yours and your husbands heart I couldn't imagine losing my son so soon. And so you know we're usually awake when we bring him to bed because it's near the morning and we're already up

my youngest is named Roman too!! but please dont let him sleep in the bed with you guys my daughter passed away from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) she did not suffocate.. but bed sharing increases the risk of SIDS tremendously.. i know all you want to do is cuddle them because they are so cute and sweet.. but it is extremely dangerous and I never thought it would happen to me.. but it did and it has happened to so many others. the safest place for baby to sleep is in his own crib or bassinet with only a fitted sheet you can put a sleep sack on him its like a wearable blanket for babies so he doesn't get cold.. i just don't want any mother or father to ever feel the way my husband and I feel. we would do anything to have our Nori back with us. please don't sleep in the bed with little Roman no one should have to loose their child.. and again it can happen to anyone nobody knows why it happens there are only ways to reduce the risk. but bed sharing is the highest risk factor for SIDS and remember SIDS is not suffocation.
We don't co-sleep any longer, but did for the first 6.5 months if my daughters life.👍🏻

I recently read something about how it's harder to sleep train babies at certain stages of development. It said that 6-7 months is a good point to start but if you miss that window the next one is 1 yr

Don't do cry it out method. Babies don't learn to stop crying because they are ok they learn that no one wants to respond to them when they are in distress. Just imagine when you are in trouble if it felt like no one cared. That's what babies learn when they are left to cry it out
Iz
We never did cry it out. I just personally don't agree with the practice. I don't really have any advice, other than to not use the cry it out method. Especially if it isn't working, that is just distressing to you and her. What does a typical day and night look like for you? Do you have a schedule?
