Can you Co-Sleep like this??

Question

Note: This was us cuddling after i had a breakdown, I did not go to sleep like this. But if i was to have her in bed for a nap or to sleep is this ok? She doesn't like being away from my body so its hard to keep her away from me.
* I don't move in my sleep at all. Once i'm laying like this i will not move until i wake.

Answer

The recommendations will say no. But this is how I sleep when baby wants the boob. I allow her to latch and we fall asleep together,  she just de-attaches when she’s full. I know I don’t move or roll in my sleep so theres never been an issue with suffocation.

Answer

The only thing I would suggest is to not place your baby between you and your partner. 👍

Answer

I used to work for child protective services and investigated child fatalities. My opinion and experience, absolutely not.

Answer

Every recommendation will say absolutely not.
I'm going to be honest at the risk of backlash.
My baby will not sleep away from me. He will be in such a deep sleep, I put him down, and he is awake and pissed. I've tried putting him down sleepy but still awake. As soon as I put him down he is awake and pissed. 
We sleep with him either on my chest or on his back beside me in bed. 
I should add that I am a ridiculously light sleeper now. Even if his breathing just slightly changes, I am awake and highly alert. There are no blankets or pillows near his face. I feel very safe sleeping the way that we do. He sleeps wonderfully so I get to sleep well too. It's so good for the both of us. I'm able to be a better mom because I'm not sleep deprived. 
I understand that I could be creating poor sleep habits. I've decided that is something we will address when he gets a little bigger and we'll work on some sleep training. As of right now, my baby and I will sleep comfortably the way that works for us.

Answer

Yes, but get rid of the blanket. Get yourself a nursing top with long sleeves so you're not cold. Don't let the blanket come higher than your waist, but the safest thing to do is take the blanket off completely. Also be careful of your partner - dads are way more likely to roll onto babies than moms.

Answer

If you ask professionals they say it’s bad to sleep like this, but you know what’s best for your child. 
I sometimes sleep on my back with my baby on my chest. That’s probably bad as well, but we both sleep very well like that and I don’t move either. 
Do what feels good for you and for your baby

Answer

Absolutely not

Answer

You can go online and take a short quiz by the American pediatrics (I think that’s who) and if you answer those appropriately, then yes. Bed sharing is recommended for breastfeeding success because if it is done correctly, it can actually reduce the risk of SIDS for a breastfeeding baby as well as encourage successful breastfeeding. They do mention weighing the risks but there are also risks with a baby sleeping on its own. Remove the blankets as people suggest though and keep pillows away.

Answer

I sleep like this with my baby every night.

Answer

I sleep with my girl but not in the middle because her daddy rolls a lot. We have a Cali king bed so we all have enough room to sleep without being on top of each other, I put her in a swaddle and then a blanket on her waist, and when we nap I cuddle her with my face right at hers
