Bedsharing?

Question

Any mamas on here bedsharing? We’ve fallen into the habit lately. Baby girl is almost 3 months.. she sleeps so well next to me and we both get more sleep but i can’t shake the feeling that I’m not being safe with her or feeling guilty for it like I’m just waiting for something bad to happen... any reassuring thoughts or advice? 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Answer

We bed share. If you are nursing and follow the safe sleep guidelines, it's fine.  I know the AAP is against it and I felt so guilty with my first, but they sleep better, you sleep better.  If you are doing it safely there are actually a lot of benefits for both of you.  We always start in the crib/pack n play, and then baby ends up with us.

Answer

Been bed sharing since day 1 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’ve been bed sharing since my boy was 6 weeks old. We sleep better that way. I EBF so it’s easier for us. For the first 6 weeks my husband and I had to take shifts because baby only sleeps on us or right next to us. One night we fell asleep in the bed together and got the best sleep ever. I felt guilty about it because everyone says not to, but without doing so, I wouldn’t get any sleep at all and go insane! I always hear every sound he makes so I don’t see anything bad happening. I’m happy to see so many women on here saying they also bed share, it makes me feel even less guilty!

Answer

Bed sharing since day 1! Follow the safe sleep 7 and itll be fine. I feel so much better that hes right beside me and we sleep so much better

Answer

Honestly I’ve been bed sharing since she was born(yes even in the hospital, I was just so tired and fell asleep with her) of course they came in like put her back.  But even as we got home she hasn’t slept anywhere else. Started in the bed sharing cosleeper. But now I just sleep beside her. I sleep so light. Ever grunt and I’m up. But I also sleep well. She’s ebf so she sleeps through your the night because she’s comfortable and I can just pop a boob in her mouth without her waking up. Going to start a proper sleep routine very soon. She’ll be 3 months on Sunday. I want to prepare her for daycare and sleeping in cribs and falling asleep on her own.

Answer

I did with my 5.5 year old til 6 months she transitioned to crib no problem.   And currently doing it with my 15 week old. He’s ebf

Answer

We do.  He slept in a Snuggle nest on the bed when he was tiny, now he’s a chunk and likes to really stretch out.  We just give him half the bed and cram ourselves to the opposite side.  I also have a bedside bassinet he sleeps in too.  He can do either one and sleeps well through the night.

Answer

Yup. I have a bassinet on the bed, and also just put her next to me to sleep sometimes. This is my second child so I think that has influenced my thoughts and actions, more relaxed

Answer

Don’t worry, mama! Every baby is different & has different needs. If you are wanting to crib train...I had my baby sleep in my arms until 1 month, sleep in a co sleeper in bed until 2 months & now I have the co sleeper in the crib at 3 months (next month I’ll take co sleeper cot out) and thats worked out so far!

Answer

I’ve been bed sharing since like a week pp. we tried bed for sleeper and she hated it. And honestly I found it safer, when she was first born I was so exhausted one day I fell asleep with her on the couch and didn’t realize. That freaked me out. We rest more I still wake up through out the night but overall I sleep better and she does too. Also I EBF and that’s nice sometimes I wake up to her nibbling on me lol it’s really cute.
