My baby is 7 months old. I tried co sleeping , I tried a crib and a bassinet and she wouldn’t sleep in any of them. Like 20 minutes would go by and she would be up again. I was so exhausted that by the time she was a month old I couldn’t do it anymore and put her in my bed next to me and she would sleep 4 hours at a time. It was amazing. Now I can’t imagine not cuddling her every night . It makes it so much easier breastfeeding throughout the night and we both sleep so good. I know people say it isn’t safe but I’ve never had a problem. I’m a light sleeper
