Do you co-sleep?

Question

Just wondering what mamas are doing at the moment? 😊

Answer

I was so against it before the baby came, but now that she’s here I can’t really sleep without her in the bed with me lol ugh

Answer

Co-sleep right next to me. Didnt think i would be but we dont have the room right now for his bassinet to be right next to me. I am a very light sleeper and barely move so it works. He also rarely falls asleep at night without touching me (hand or foot against me). With my daughter we had a bassinet/cot that fit in the middle of the bed and was raised a bit higher. Figured i would try in a couple months to get him in his bassinet.

Answer

I don't have a partner, so my queen sized bed has space. My newborn twins have been sharing my bed with me.

Answer

My kids are silent vomiter and so it makes me very uncomfortable to have them sleeping alone on their backs where they can’t roll over. I have a fear of them aspirating and dying. Where when they sleep with me as babies they sleep on their sides. I can feel them breathing and help if they are chocking on vomit.

Answer

Both of mine have always slept in their bassinet/crib. With my older son, when he was a bit older and was sick/teething/going through a sleep regression he’d sleep in the bed with us but other than that I didn’t want to make a habit out of it. Not because it can’t be done safely, but because I feel like my children would never leave my bed later on down the road if I did 😂.

Answer

With my first, it was purely in the bedside crib, and I was super strict about it. This time around, since I don't have the ability to make up sleep during the day with a toddler, the only way to get any sleep is to bring my newborn in bed with me at some point in the night and nurse her in the side-lying position while I doze off. We've set up the bed to follow the "safe sleep 7" to be as safe as possible. But yeah, this isn't what I thought I would do.
