No not safe have you tried a heating pad on top of the bassinet before bedC
Girl put that baby in The bed with you. If you listen to everything these people say you would be afraid of everything. When my kids were small I would lay either the receiving blanket or a thin blanket on the bed and lay the baby on it. They say to keep the baby on their back but to be honest just pay mind to where the baby is and give enough space. It maybe hard to get them out when they are older so don’t drag it for too long lol
I agree with Yanni. I co sleep with my first and I’ll be doing the same with my second (currently pregnant with baby #2 due in December). I would make a bed out of blankets and put it in the corner of the bed (our bed would be against the wall). Then I’ll be in the middle and hubby on the outside. Sometimes hubby doesn’t sleep in bed with us because he worked graveyard at the time and I would wake up to him sleeping on the floor because he didn’t want to wake us up.
People over react. Co sleeping was done from the beginning of time. I have 6 kids. The first one was so rough cause we tried so hard to keep him in his crib. The rest we co slept. The baby sleeps well, we sleep well. All around the best decision
I was also super nervous about it, ended up doing the safe sleep 7 after discovering just how many people cosleeping with their babies. We are almost a year in now! I will say I wake up constantly through the night to either put a boob in her mouth or to readjust her. Part of what makes it safe is that you are waking up a lot with their movements and just general awareness of them. We bought a bed bumper (just a long skinny pillow on Amazon) and baby sleeps on the outside between the bumper and me. We also put our bed on the floor once she started crawling. I just saw a woman putting a travel bassinet in the bed between her and her husband which could be good. Otherwise, if you are really nervous, just get the owlette sock thing. I’ve seen that being used in conjunction with cosleeping to add an extra layer of safety.
On my third baby and third round of cosleeping. The thing I’m most confident with about my parenting is cosleeping honestly. I believe it’s benefited me and my babies in so so many ways.
Follow the safe sleep 7 to make bedsharing safer. Bedsharing helped our family get so much more sleep!
Thank you so much everyone this makes me feel so much better
All five of my children have slept with me.
Ive coslept with my baby literally since the hospital 💀 shes 10 months now and we still cosleep. My mom did it with me and so on. The only time i don’t recommend it is if you’re a heavy sleeper or if you smoke/drink at all then it’s a big nono. Other than that cosleeping is literally the way of life over here and her crib is just for storage atp 😂
There are so many amazing benefits of cosleeping. For example it is proven to have a positive impact on your baby’s emotional health, as well as leading to more sleep for you both. Embrace it and do not feel bad for having your baby close to you at night- it is where they are naturally meant to be!

Here is a study done which shows cosleeping safely with breastfed babies actually reduced risk of SIDS. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9792691/ Xx
