Answer

I didn’t want the fight of getting her to sleep in her own bed when the time came so we never let her sleep in our bed.

I love bedsharing with my LO, we both sleep better and breastfeeding is so easy!

Answer

No way. I move around waaaaaay too much in my sleep. It's just not safe.

Answer

Yes, if done safely. No medications, healthy weight, no smoking, drinking, drugs, and no excessive blankets or pillows. Though o only bed-shared on rough nights, I do think it can be extremely beneficial for parents and children. Many other countries see this as the norm.

Answer

It's truly wonderful. No excess blankets. None on baby. There's no need. Dress in a onesie only, I promise they will keep warm. I NEVER let my daughter sleep directly on the bed. We have a memory foam topper and a plush top. Way too soft. She always sleep on my arm, whether I was on my back or side. I highly recommend using a binky, it helps reduce SIDS. Keep a fan on in the room to help regulate temperatures and air flow. I suggest a humidifier as well, the air gets pretty dry. No smoking, no drinking, no medications. If you're a heavy sleeper, just don't do it.

Answer

We don't bedshare at home. Mostly because I don't sleep as well! However, I think when done properly it's wonderful and many other moms report MORE sleep. We are currently on vacation and I'm bedsharing with my (almost) 10 month old as I type this 😉 whatever gets everyone the most sleep!
