Need advice. Is this wrong?

Question

Since my son was about 2 weeks I have been cosleeping with him. My hubby sleeps on the couch, which I am fine with cause he works and gets a better sleep there. But lately my son will take foreverrrr to fall asleep during the day but if I take him to my bed he'll fall asleep right away..
I eventually want him to have naps and sleep in his crib but for now since he's so young I've been letting him sleep with me. And I figure instead of him getting overtired and super fussy I'll let him sleep in my bed so he actually gets the sleep he needs.
Am I starting a bad habit? I'm worried that this will make it harder for me to get him to sleep in his crib later on..😯 He's 2 months now.
Thoughts?

Answer

My baby is 11 weeks and we've been co sleeping since our first night home. The second pic is exactly how she sleeps nestled up to me. We get 8 hours each night and it's the only way she'd sleep more than a half hour.

Answer

Same here. Although my MIL keeps telling us we will regret it later. Every night we try to put him in his bassinet and he gets fussy. My husband had the patience to shove the pacifier in his mouth a million times until he falls asleep, I don't. If I sleep next to the bassinet he ends up in bed with me. My husband also sleeps on the couch when he works because otherwise he wouldn't get much sleep.

Answer

You ladies are making me feel so much better about this! Thank yoouu! 😊

Answer

Not a bad habit at all it will be easy to transition him as he gets a lil older I did it with all my kids and now with my Lil man 2 months today I will start letting him sleep in his crib when he is 4 months  but for now he can stay with mommy he loves to nestle under me and I love it as well

Answer

Not sure if it was just for the photos but he shouldn't have covers on him if you're going to cosleep. I'd start transitioning him to a crib. Start with something he can sleep in that goes on your bed, then something like a rock n play sleeper that goes next to your bed, then a bassinet, then a crib.

Answer

According to my pediatrician a baby can't be spoiled until they are at least a year and a half.

My suggestion is to wean the co sleeping. Or evolve it to a more desirable behavior. Try co sleeping in the baby nursery or co sleeping andmoving once asleep. Also, try baby wearing. Keeps baby close, but different from cosleeping and still allows you to be hands free.

Answer

Sameeeee here! My son is 8 weeks old and sleeps right next to me just like that in bed. It's the only way he will sleep! I dint mind it though💕 I'll worry about transitioning him to his crib in a few more months.

Answer

I'm in the same boat with this. He sleeps so much better with me but I'm scared of a bad habit 😑 plus I saw a video on how it's not safe so now I'm all paranoid .

Answer

Do what you gotta do to survive mama! My son used to be the same way, then slept in the rock n play, then magically in the crib around 7 months!
