Can she?

Question

So my daughter has a bassinet but hates sleeping in it at night she prefers to sleep with me which I know is bad but it not for the whole night only for a hour or to before dawn  but can she sleep in her Boppy for a little  she seems to sleep better and happier that way she 6 day old

Answer

Boppy is dangerous because of the angle of it. She needs to be flat on her back. 
If you have to bedshare, you can do it safely— google “safe seven”

Answer

The whole "well I didnt die" mentality is a dangerous one to have. Just because one person didnt die doesnt mean it's safe. There's a reason there are guidelines to safe sleep that should be followed.  Boppy even says on the packaging not for sleep I believe.

Answer

I co slept with my daughter for the first 5 months 🤷🏼‍♀️ it just felt like the best decision for us. Just research safe co sleeping practices.

Answer

Definitely don’t let her sleep in the boppy and if you’re going to sleep with her, follow the safe sleep 7.  Bed sharing SAFELY can be okay though still isn’t the safest option.  I have bed shared with my son (with an owlet on) since he came home from the hospital and I follow that.  Any object that puts them on any sort of incline can lead to positional asphyxiation.  This happens more often than you think so don’t do it even when you’re completely exhausted :(

Answer

North America is the only place in the world that doesn't cosleep, everywhere else thinks we are crazy. In fact textbooks are now printing all the benefits of cosleeping with your child as opposed to this your child is going to die shit they shove down your throat. I coslept with my son for his first 6 months and will cosleep with my next when he is born. There is nothing wrong with it and when done safely and properly it is actually the safest place the baby can be. Do some research and form your own opinion but don't say it's bad because there is absolutely nothing bad about it.

Every night wrapped up in this little man I never felt safer or more secure. Can't wait to do it all over again ♥️

Answer

I agree that you can practice safe bed sharing if you follow the guidelines, but definitely do not use the boppy for sleep.

Answer

No no please no boppy. All it takes is for her to slip down a little bit and she can suffocate. She shouldn’t have a blanket or stuffed animal or anything in the bassinet with her at all, if it’s cold put her in jammies or a swaddle with a long sleeve onesie. If you want to co sleep that’s totally fine just make sure you are safe but please make sure not to have her covered by blanket. You are a good momma and it’s great you asked!

Answer

I have bed shared with all my kids and never once have had any issues just make sure baby is sleeping flat so she can breath. You could try a bedside crib instead of a bassinet or a baby nest instead of a boppy

Answer

I co sleep with my kids, they sleep better, I sleep better. My husband works away from home 5 days a week so it really doesn't effect our life lol. I'm hoping when my youngest is a few months older they just sleep in their room together but I know we will all probably cuddle all night long till they don't want to anymore 🙈 I'm a sucker for my babes. It was the only way mine would sleep as babies too, so I feel you, just be safe about it 🙃❤️

Answer

This was my daughter and my pediatrician recommended feeding her, burping her, and swaddling her nice and snug and put her in while she’s awake, you can keep your hand on her belly to pay her until she seems sleepy, give her a pacifier if needed, play some relaxing music. It honestly worked the first night I tried it. We got her into a routine of eat play sleep during the day to try and keep her alittle more awake during the day so she will sleep better at night.
