Do you cosleep with your baby

Question

I'm having trouble getting my 3 week old to sleep in her own bed. Pretty much she won't sleep if she isn't with me in the bed and the guilt of knowing I shouldn't let her sleep with me vrs. Sleep deprivation is eating away at my soul. 
(I've tried a white noise machine, swaddles in multiple different types, swings, etc)
I'm looking into a cosleep bed like a dock a tot or the snuggle me bed. Yes I know she should not sleep with blankets, pillows, or with me etc but I'd like some feed back from fellow real moms on how they either broke their child of wanting to sleep with them or cosleeping tips to keep the baby safe. 
Please positive feedback

Answer

there are ways to bed share safely. I bed share with my 6 week old since the first night we brought him home. we follow the safe sleep 7 guidelines.

Answer

I co sleep. I'm a light sleeper, bought a bed rail and he does not sleep between my husband and I. No blankets near him until he was bigger. It worked for me and for my son, but I don't typically recommend it for other people because I don't know how heavy of a sleeper they are and it's quite dangerous when they are very little too. But I've been doing it since my son was a few days old too because that's the only way we got a good sleep. The issue im having now is transitioning him out of the bed.

Answer

I've been co sleeping with my 2 week old because she will scream her head off if left in her bassinet for longer than 2 minutes. I usually sleep on the recliner with her on my chest and have an alarm every 2 to 3 hrs to feed/change her

Answer

I used a co sleeper crib and it worked great!

Answer

Bed sharing co sleeping? Or in the same room co sleeping? 
We have the halo bassinet and then his crib for when he’s 6 months.

Answer

My baby isn’t here yet but I’ve had my niece sleep over when she was around 2 months a few times and she cosleeps with my sister. I was a nervous wreck and I’m a heavy sleeper so I don’t think I will do it with my little one. Now when she comes over she sleeps with us but in our dock a tot. Best investment ever.

Answer

I know everyone on here is telling you to co sleep but just put a pack and play next to the bed so she is right next to you. At 2 weeks sleep is hard, it will get easier. The last thing you want to do is jeopardize her safety for some sleep. Please research the dangers of cosleeping. There’s a reason why pediatricians, doctors, researchers, professionals all advise against it. Just stick it out. The most important thing I ever did was get on a three hour feed sleep schedule. Look one up. It saved my sleep. Napping during the day is the most important. Have her nap on you or in a swing, any way to get her to nap. Surprisingly the more your baby naps during the day, the more she will sleep at night. But never let her nap more than 2 hours at a time. Wake up to feed. That’s the trick. Try to swaddle, my baby has always liked her hands out so we did the halo swaddle sack with the hands out. I downloaded a white noise app machine called sound sleep that helps ALOT set on vacuum. I also bought the bubzi one soother and the music soothes her to sleep. My 3 month old sleeps 11 hours in her own crib next to my bed. It was a long process and at 2 weeks I wasn’t sleeping either but it was worth it. Now she is safe and we both sleep.

Answer

I’ve been cosleeping with my son since day 1. It’s just me and him in my bed. I’ve always done it safely. He never would sleep in his bassinet so I started having him sleep with me and now he’s 5 months and he’s a great sleeper. He never wakes up crying and only wakes up a couple times to “snack” then goes right back to sleep

Answer

I coslept with my daughter when she was very little, but on her own bed or a bassinet in our room.  She's a fiercely independent little bugger and I was afraid of rolling onto her as I toss and turn at night and often pass out vs fall asleep.

Answer

Yes up till 6 months in those little beds you put in your bed, now she sleeps in her crib
