co-sleeper .. sidecar?

Question

So I plan on breastfeeding and either way I want my baby right next to me for easy access at night. The in-bed sleepers seem good but we have a queen bed and my husbands worried about rolling over.
Does anyone use a sidecar style co-sleeper? What brand do you like??

Answer

I've got the Snuzpod. We tossed up between this and the Chicco Next to me but the Chicco takes up too much room, and in some reviews people kick theirs feet on the stand in the night so the SnuzPod won. I love it and as this is my 5th baby I'll be up at night breastfeeding I know it will work.

Answer

I got a Snuggle Nest from Babies R Us & we love it. Plays music & makes womb sounds, also has a little night light. It was a little pricey $60 but worth every penny. He is only 3 weeks old, but since we got this he sleeps 3-4 hours straight in it at night.

My husband is now on the couch. Lol we have 2 small children and I'm 31 weeks. Every since our 4 year old was born he been on the couch and they have their own room. It was a big mistake.

Answer

I would go with the sidecar, we had a co sleeper and it tilts when you lay next to it, and there was a time where it tilted into me and she rolled facedown pressed into the sides of the cosleeper that was pressed against my back, she could have overheated or suffocated. My husband and I also couldn't sleep in the bed at the same time because of the size. 
     It didn't make breastfeeding any easier for me because it has rigid sides and I still had to get completely up to lift her out, I ended up keeping the cosleeper on the floor next to my bed so she was still near me.

Sorry this came off so negative, I just wanted to share my bad experiences.   It was really nice to have still, it was like a tiny portable crib, nice for going places, or bring into the kitchen while your cleaning, or keeping baby safely on the couch.... I just wouldn't sleep with it in your bed.

Answer

We got one that's called "In Arms Reach". They are available in the US, but if you're in Canada you might be able to find a used one.

Answer

We slept with our daughter in our bed for the first month of her life, now she sleeps in a rock n play next to the bed, she wakes up once to eat during the night and I can easily reach over and grab her. Once she sleeps completely through the night I will put her in her crib in her room.
