ladygaddis - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have my one month old in bed with me for most of the night. I put him down for the night in his bassinet beside the bed but when he wakes up i keep him in bed with me for the rest of the night. as soon as he starts sleeping in his bassinet all night he goes into his room across the hall. the problem isnt breaking him from sleeping with me, as with my first child, it was breaking ME from having him sleep with me. I recommend it to BF moms as you dont feel so frustrated because you have to get up and down with your baby his first few months. i tried to let my daughter sleep in her crib but that getting up and down with her really didnt help my post pardon depression. but he only sleeps with me on the opposite side that my husband and i occupy. my husband holds me from behind during the night and we are both scared he wouldnt be half awake enough to remember the baby was there, hes a really heavy sleeper. so if your going to co sleep dont go to bed drunk, know that your going to be half awake and subconsciously aware of your baby, and conscious of your own body, if you run the risk of a boob falling in the poor kids face and you not noticing it, its a bad idea.

bee2bee - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I did it with my first but the big mistake we had was getting her from a bassenet to our bed, NOW we cant get her out of the bed. ;/

nutnut - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i co sleep as in i have the baby in my room but not my bed. my daughter did sleep in the bed with me once she was big enough that i wasnt afraid of rolling over on her. she still sleeps with me she's 7. (yeah i know bad bad) but daddy drives over the road and isnt home alot. when daddy is home she sleeps in her own room. but when she was tiny she was in teh basinet by the side of my bed until she out grew it.

amber325 - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I let Olivia sleep in our bed for maybe 2 weeks when I was trying to BF....it was easier. Then I switched to pumping and hubby missed holding me at night...so she went in the bassinet til 3 months then the crib ever since :)

courtenay - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i cosleep every night. its more natural and we both get a decent sleep. im sure she feels warm and safe. she prefers to sleep with me and she always has and i am ok with it. i love it actually.

AliciaTTCBaby2 - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) And also, if you and ur partner wanna have sex you can't do that with a kid in your bed. Mums and dads need there own space and that's what their bedroom is for.

AliciaTTCBaby2 - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Our daughter slepts with us until she was 4 months, I first I loved it but then I hated it we couldn't get her to sleep on her own I was always so tired because your body doesn't relax as its to scared to roll on the baby I personally think it is dangerous if a grown women or even worse man rolls on bub while their asleep I highly doubt it would survive.

AmberRamirez - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My daughter is almost one on this next friday, she still sleeps with us. We love it. I love it. Having her next to me when she wakes and sleeps is breathtaking. I love having her next to both mommy and daddy. Some kids are born with their mommy and daddy not around, and they arent as attached. I want my daughter to know that her daddy and mommy are close to her. I love her so much and it is such a great thing for the child that the parents are close to her. My opinion.

kristina89 - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) my son co-sleeps with me it just that if he sleeps in his bassanet then he would wake up every half an hour so he sleeps with me i love it i want him attached to me and i feel better when hes laying next to me

xela - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) co sleeping was not for me or my husband, we do not think that it is safe. We had our son sleep in a bassinet next to our bed until he was 2 months old, then moved him to the crib in his nursery. We also wanted to keep our bed our bed and have the baby have his own space- he is a great sleeper, and is still close by- his room is right behind ours, and we use the video monitor

my.family - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Recently in our town a 15 month old was suffocated by her father while co-sleeping! i told my fiance from the second my son was born that if he ever slept with him on our bed/couch and something would happen, i dont know if i would ever let him live it down. If something is going to happen to my son, i want to be the one responsible. I can stand being hated, i can't stand hating the man i intend to marry.

abbyquiet - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i did with my son. he slept in his bassinet till he was 3 months old then got sick, he was pooing every 30 minutes, and not sleeping well, and neither was i, my husband had just left for bootcamp and school and it was just me and my son. i built him a little nest in the bed and slept next to him, but on my side of the bed with a barrier between us. he did get better several months later, but by then i was accustomed to it, and we were BOTH sleeping MUCH better. another reason why i continuted it was because we were traveling across country, and he wouldn't sleep in the pack and play. when i finally decided it was enough, was when he learned how to crawl and would try to crawl off the bed. it took him one time to jump off and we never co-slept again. he must have been 8 or 9 months old. i wouldn't suggest it for everyone, but it worked for us, and since my husband was gone for nearly a year it was comforting to have someone to share the bed with. he's a very good sleeper now (at 22 months) and has been since then even.

barbieken7981 - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I do on occasion. I put her in the pack and play until she wakes up then the rest of the night she is with me.

smiling politely - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i do, i did with my daughter too.... you realize the vast majority of the world does co sleep, without danger? the only time co sleeping is not safe is if the mothers is overweight, drunk or on some sort of drug that prevents her from waking easily. the same thing that stops you from rolling off your bed is what stops you from rolling onto your baby. its great for breastfeeding, you know your baby is safe because they are right there, you know your baby is there right temp ect.. i have no idea why people dont want to co sleep. for us its the most natural thing in the world.

my.family - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) hmm...i guess my son was really good sleeper. he was in the NICU for 6days, and when he came home he was in a bassinette for 3 months and then a crib. I am always so scared of someone rolling over on him. It scares me to death.

5against1 - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i co-sleep because it always felt most natural to me. she was inside me for 9 months, so when she was born i just wanted her attached to me as much as possible, including when we were sleeping. it seems and feels odd to have her sleep alone.

blondie9504 - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My DD sleeps in her crib most of the night. If she gets up to eat, then I usually put her in her boppy beside my head because we're getting up for work in an hour or two anyways. She absolutely refused to sleep in a bassinette, she would scream non-stop so I put her in her crib. But I had to move her crib into my room so she could see me and then we sleep with the TV on. She's spoiled but she's my one and only, so thats fine.

cuddlebunnymeg - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I only co-slept with my daughter because she would scream and cry all night. I live in an apartment and can't let her do that. She is 6 weeks old and has been sleeping in her crib for 1 week alone without me. I tried everything else to get her to sleep but it didn't work. When you go days without sleeping you do what you need to to get through it. If I woke up when she was sleeping with me I would move her to her carseat or crib to get her to sleep by herself. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.

owensbaby2 - 844 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Personally..I am so afraid of SIDS or her suffocating,that I couldnt sleep with my baby if I tried...
