Co Sleeping

What Do You Think About Co Sleeping?

[jem1011]

I will not make this mistake with this baby. With my first it was just her and I so I kept her in my bed. And now 5 years later I'm married and she still comes in our room if I can even get her asleep else where. bed time is awful in my house its always a fight idk what to do to break this habbit with her.

I'm very against it. Not only is it dangerous but you will get less sleep and it makes it very hard to get your baby sleeping in their own bed.

[Mommy2awesomekids]

I did with my first she is almost 5 and still comes in our bed every night so I say no Cuz it doesn't seem to end lol its hard to break

My friends let there little boy sleep with them and now he is almost three and they don't want him in the bed anymore but they can't get him to sleep in his own bed at all. I will have my son in a bassinet next to the bed until he gets bigger, but he won't be in bed with me and my husband. We are always hot as it is so I know more body heat would be unbearable

My husband couldn't ever sleep when our son was in bed with us. As easy as breastfeeding was when I could just roll over and latch on, it meant my husband was waking up over and over at every little sound and movement. He needed his rest just as much as I did so we split up nighttime tasks and our son went back to his bassinet (first 3 months) or crib (after that) after a feeding. Now that we know what works for us we'll do the same this time. Plenty of time for snuggles at other times during the day. I wish it had worked for us but I'm okay with going a different way.

I didn't do it.  I'm a light sleeper and needed my rest.  Oh, did I need my rest.  I was afraid of rolling on baby or worse, husband rolling on baby and babies are very loud breathers. My first night home from the hospital, I woke my husband up to 'look' and listen to the baby breathing because it was so loud.  I thought there was something wrong.  We had a drs. appt. the next day and our pedi said it is normal that babies breath loudly when sleeping.  

So, I had baby in bassinet in next room.  

I have friends that cosleep or slept.  They liked it.  I think the main issue gets to be that the baby gets so used to it that transitioning to their own room when a toddler becomes really hard.  Once in their bed, hard time getting baby out of their bed.  And there does come a point in which you will want your own space from the baby/kids.  So, transition before one would be my suggestion so that you don't have that hard time of separating.  

lots of luck

I don't plan on it!  I don't want my child sleeping in the same bed as us. I do have a bassinet for beside the bed for easier BF but I don't want to get him use to sleeping in bed with us.

We co slept with my now twobyear until ahe was 20months. I breastfed her and it was just so much easier that way. However it does affect your sex life. I hated getting comfy then having to sneak out of bed -_- this baby I am just doing a bassinet.  I am to use to having my bed back.

[2cherubsntwingirls]

Not for me.....I do love to cuddle though. My sister co slept with her first baby, she's a lighter and calmer sleeper than me. They both fell asleep one night while BF and baby stopped breathing. Its not worth the risk to me. I have a basinet next to the bed. it makes it easier in the long run too since I don't have to fight them to sleep in their own beds when they get older.

My 4 week old sleeps with my husband and I
But he sleeps on my chest .I place pillows on my sides and cover him with blankets.  I'm a very light sleeper so I wake up when he moves his hands or head
And it's easier to breastfeed

[aicnov14]

nope I would never sleep with a baby in my bed no matter how much I trusted myself, it's too much at risk.

[Mommy_Daddy_2]

I do it with my daughter some nights. I don't move in my sleep and I keep her on my side plus I'm a very light sleeper so if she even whines a little I wake up.  She also has a cradle right beside my bed as well as her swing.

[bholcomb]

My oldest slept with me till I married my husband and our son sleeps with us now. And our new baby will too.  I will be trying to get our 4yr old into his own bed before the baby comes. I love the idea of my kids sleeping with us.

[diiddlybop]

I love the idea for bonding and convenience but it is also a scary one. I'm typically extremely aware of those type of situations which I never thought I would be because I was such a wild sleeper as a child but my parents had my younger brother when I was 11 and he sometimes slept in my bed or on my chest during naps and what not where I'd fall asleep too and never had a problem. However, I worry about my bf he nearly rolls over on me sometimes when he's exhausted. Also all the research being done on SIDS finding out co sleeping supposedly ups the chances of an infant succumbing to it, was enough for me to find an alternative. Which is y I'll be using a sidecar cosleeper, it's like babies own bed, can be converted from a crib, but it attaches to the side or ur bed and gives open arms reach access to it baby, so it's pretty much the best of both worlds

[NinasMommy14]

As much as I want to I can't. Our bed isn't big enough for all 3, so we got her a bassinet that will be right beside me, and once bf leaves to work then I'll put her in bed with me

[AlejandraMV]

I'm not going to be co-sleeping. I'm just nervous that I might be exhausted and cause myself or my boyfriend to roll over on her. While I'm sure I would be much to paranoid to ever let that happen, it still makes me nervous. I know a lot of doctors suggest not doing so, but I also know a lot of mothers who have done so successfully. We will simply have her bassinet right next to our bed, so we can still be close to her without the worry. That's just my take. :)

[luxah]

Guess I'll be the odd ball out. Nope, not for me or something I'm willing to risk. Husband moves around too much and our beds not that big. Got her a playpen thats in our room and a crib for her room when shes a few months older.

[kward2]

I co slept with my daughter. Not sure if I will do the same with baby #2. It just feels much more comfortable having them so close though.

[Novemberbabiess]

Ive co slept with my daughter since we brought her home from the hospital! Shes now 11 months and we will be expecting her baby brother on the 17th (: yes of this month lol. Its me who cant break the habit of her no longer sleeping in bed with us.

[CHXSINGNOV]

I plan on it! I'm an extreme light sleeper. I co slept with my first for the first month until she got too fussy so I hope imq able to longer with this one:)

[alexvanity]

I think it's a great idea.. That's what I'll be doing when my baby comes
