Is my baby daddy being unreasonable?

I’m super anxious about my son (4months) sleeping next to me. I always wake up and am super aware of where he is, even when I’m sleeping, but I just can’t relax if he’s next to me at night. My baby daddy works most days and is always saying that he’s tired and needs to get his sleep. My son will fuss a little and make noises when he’s in his bassinet, but as soon as he’s next to me he’s silent. My baby daddy just wants me to put my son next to us but I don’t feel super comfortable with that. Am I just anxious or is he being unreasonable? How do I talk to him about this?

I had this with my ex he would fall asleep on the sofa with our daughter when she was that age. You can co sleep & be as careful as u can people do but i did watch a video on facebook of a britsh mum and she had lost there 3 month old as there baby was asleep on dad on the sofa and his face had rolled into the dads arm pit and the baby sadly suffocatted. It really struck a cord with me and absolutley terrified me this would happen and i used to freak out every time i would walk into the lounge and see them asleep together. Odds are small but the risk is there so either way even if ur partner doesnt agree with u he should respect ur concern and not do it.

It’s not unreasonable at all. There’s a reason everyone discourages co-sleeping and that’s because it’s super dangerous. I was the same way and there’s time I’d put her to sleep in the crib and would wake up with her next to me which was even worse because I wasn’t aware to be more careful so I told my husband to either sleep in the other room or on the couch if he can’t deal or just suck it up because we’re both parents and I don’t enjoy waking up 90 times either but it is what it is. Follow your instinct girl. I stand my ground when it comes to my baby girl no matter how unreasonable or ridiculous something sounds.

My boyfriend works a lot and is always tired cause he does pool renovations. I had the same issue with my daughter. When she was only a couple of weeks old she was so fussy in her bassinet so when she was a month old. I started co sleeping with her and my boyfriend understood because she was so fussy and once she is in the middle of us she stops and able to sleep

@Sara thank you! I understand he’s tired but I am too. I just would rather be tired and know my son is safe in his crib. I will definitely tell him this!
