Co-sleeping?

Question

Thoughts on co-sleeping? I hear a lot of bad things about it but is it really bad for your baby? I’ve been doing it since my baby was 1 month old because I breastfeed and it’s easier for me and her when she wakes up to eat. I don’t put her under our blankets, I cover her with her baby sized, light weight blanket and she sleeps on my side with a pillow pushed against the wall so she doesn’t sleep in between us. I’m a very still sleeper so I usually never move around while sleeping. We have a strong bond because of it and she just falls asleep faster and stays asleep longer when she sleeps with us.

Answer

People will judge everything you do as a parent. You do what’s best for you and your family. I co slept since day 1.

Answer

I mean, yeah, it’s unsafe. Personally I would never risk it but it doesn’t sound like you want to stop based on your post...

Answer

I️ co sleep since my son was 6 months. He just randomly wouldn’t sleep in his bed anymore?? But I’m a light sleeper, and i never move in my sleep.. if I️ do I️ wake up first and move.. so I’m always very cautious. I️ personally find nothing wrong with it as long as you are safe about it.. and he’ll wake up and cuddle with me until I️ fully wake up and then a day of play for the both of us lol. But people will judge you on anything and everything you do as a parent. Do what works for you.

Answer

I've been co-sleeping with my son since the day he was born. He is now 13 months old and still sleeps with me. Co-sleeping is a natural thing.

Answer

I did for about 7 months.  Just got my lo sleeping in his crib about 3 weeks ago.  I’m bfing to. But I started because he would not sleep in his crib or pack n play. He would wake up and cry/scream tell I pick him back up.  He would scream so much he would make himself sick.  So co-sleeping was the only way I could get him to sleep at all.  I love having my bed back and not worrying that he going to get hurt. ( fall off the bad or something).  
Do what is best for you and your family. People are going to judge everything you do.

Answer

Like everything, you’re going to receive a lot of different opinions. As long as you are being safe, you have to determine what is best for you. We never planned on cosleeping and then it just kind of happened. At first, it seemed like my son and I were both sleeping much better. Now my son is six months and I hardly sleep at all. It has been such a challenge getting him to sleep in his crib. I wish I would have established that as his bed sooner, because I feel like I’ll never sleep again.. 😳
