How do you feel about co sleeping ?

Question

Answer

Bed sharing all the way. My baby is safest next to me.

Answer

Little aggressive on the verbiage here.
Firstly- nobody is “stupid”. Also, you should clarify.
Cosleeping is defined as sleeping in the same room.  This is recommended for 12 months per the AAP standards.
I’m assuming you are referring to bedsharing which is completely different.
In America, it is strongly discouraged to bedshare as it increases suffocation and sids.  However, not all of us on this app are American and other countries promote bedsharing by offering education on how to do so safely.
Personally, I don’t like bedsharing but I’ve seen literature that promotes it safety by educating people on who is and is not a good candidate.
Let’s stop calling people stupid because they parent differently than us,  I struggle with the safety aspect but I would be ignorant to ignore other cultures and their view on it.....

Answer

My son sleeps in his own room but I definitely don’t think anyone is stupid for co-sleeping! I think everyone should do what they think is best for them and their baby!

Answer

We bedshare - I was against it in the beginning when babe slept fine in the bassinet then came the 4 week growth spurt and he wanted nothing to do with sleeping away from us. Into bed with us he came and now I love having him so close to me.. I’m away all day at work for 9 hours and I get to snuggle my little all night long!!
When he gets a little older - we’ll work on getting him in his own space - for now - I’m going to enjoy every single moment of his little cuddly self.. these days go by so fast and he is growing before my eyes!!

Answer

I'm for co-sleeping, I don't trust myself with bed sharing because I sleep too heavily, and his daddy is a big man. If his dad happened to roll on top of him it wouldn't end well 😓

Answer

We cosleep as in bedshare. Its always meant bedshare to me. They should call ot room sharing. cosleeping implies next to the parents in my opinion. Our son sleeps on a firm pillow next to me on his side. no blankets are near him. we started around 2 months...maybe a bit before. I didn't think I'd be able to but it helped us get better sleep. I wake up immediately when he wants to eat and starts rooting. I don't advice it if you're a deep sleeper.

Answer

I bed share with a dock a tot I loved holding her in my arms but I can’t my anxiety gets the best of me

Answer

Bed sharing is the only reason I've maintained my sanity LOL. Nothing easier than pulling my boob out when I hear my girl start to get restless. It can be pitch black in the room and she has no problem finding my nipple. She nurses while she sleeps, and I fall right back asleep. It's wonderful. I've never felt exhausted because I never had to physically get out of bed to feed a crying baby.

Answer

My bubs has always been in our room but in her own side crib. This allows the closeness needed for cosleeping but without the risk of bed sharing. She’s just as close as she would be if she were in my bed. But with no risk of suffocation or squashing from me or other half. Each to their own though 🤷🏽‍♀️I just wouldn’t risk it

Answer

My baby slept in her rocker her first 2 months due to trouble with mucus when she was on her back. That has cleared up so she slept in bed with me for about a month. Now she is 4 months and sleeps in her crib because one morning I awoke to her on her tummy. That scared me so now I feel that she is safer in her own bed since it is a lot firmer and she'll be able to roll back and forth much easier.
