When does co sleeping become not dangerous anymore?

Question

I have a 9 week old baby and we practice safe sleep, he sleeps in his bassinet with a tight fitted sheet and in a halo sleep sack, but I always find myself really wishing I could snuggle him and have him sleep with his daddy and I. I will continue to follow safe sleep guidelines, but I’m wondering at what age does it become okay? I figure it’s alright for a toddler to sleep in their parents bed once in a while right?

Answer

If you’re not doing it now, I wouldn’t start the habit. Scroll through and look at the hundreds of posts from mothers looking for ways to get their toddlers out of their bed. 
Just have snuggles during the day, or bring him into bed for a snuggle in the morning when he wakes up

Answer

I would definitely say don’t start it when you are managing with him sleeping in his crib. Babies need their own space too and it’s not fair to take that from them for the sake of cuddling him in bed (as tempting as it can be!) get all the love in during the day instead!

Answer

After 1, pretty much. I had mine in the bed with me at 7m, though. We followed the safe sleep 7. She’s still in my bed, and just turned two. I love it!

Answer

We started bed sharing at 5 months or so with both kids.

Answer

I wouldn’t because it becomes so hard to get them out of your bed and they’ll be there until they are much older like 7/8. Safety wise you’re likely to be smacked around bc they move so much.

Answer

I started cosleeping with my LO when he was about 8 Weeks old. He would only sleep while being rocked or walked (literally). My husband and I would take turns passing the house through the night so he would sleep. Enough was enough and I got a bassinet basket that goes in the bed so he was totally safe, I was able to sleep but still be right there for his feedings. It was a life saver!! 
But if you’re not losing your mind I wouldn’t start the habit.

Answer

It’s not hard to get them to their own beds. 
Co sleep if you want.

Answer

If you really want sleepy snuggles, you can cuddle them occasionally for their hardest nap. A few times a month. If you do it a few times a week they’ll want it more often and then wind up needing it and who wants that?

Answer

My son will be 2 in a few weeks and sleeps with us every night.  You still have to have your bed set up safely even for a toddler though.  No gaps between walls or pillows, no loose blankets for them to get twisted and tangled in, etc.  It’s safest for them to sleep alone though so it’s best to do that when you’ve already got it down

Answer

Well my 9 week old sleeps in my room but in her crib. I have the portable mini crib I can just roll her anywhere in the house 😂 usually when she wakes up at 7 and nurse her I let her sleep with me in bed since I’m awake at that time and we’ll she’ll nap for 3 mins
