Safe sleep

How is everyone currently putting their little ones to sleep? I’m feeling so overwhelmed with what is safe. Our little girl was great in the next to me the first night but wouldn’t go down in it the next so we switched to the Moses basket with a cellular blanket right at the bottom (feet to bed of course) but I’ve got a love to dream swaddle that’s arrived so wondered if that would be safer? The idea of her overheating or a blanket going over her face is so worrying!!

I’ve been bed sharing the last few nights. He just won’t settle in anything and wants to be close. I use a cellular blanket for him

We have ours in the next to me, usually in vest / baby grow / cellular blanket feet to base tucked in, blanket tucked below his arms so he can move them around. We’ve tried a swaddle bag with arms out too as it helps us not think about blanket going on his face but he’s not 100% taken to it yet.

Bedsharing, wakes within 5-20 mins every time I try the next to me or moses basket and I'm too tired to keep starting again!! She sleeps in a sleeping bag - I tried swaddling in the love to dream bags but it was a faff taking her out of it to feed her as can't breastfeed whilst swaddled.

Either option is fine although Midwives advise against anything where their arms are secured it seems. I’m a lover of a sleeping bag and my Tommee Tipee with poppers at sides so arms can be in or out is my chosen one right now. I have a love to dream as well, bought it as my previous child loved being swaddled but my baby now is pretty chill in his cot so don’think he needs it
