Literally you aren’t nagging you are saving your child’s life. This is so dangerous. Send his the safe sleep guidelines to ensure this happens when cosleeping or say you can nap if I’m home and watching but never alone…
It’s deff still touchy . I would say be mindful how you deliver the message . Bc I use to be offended when my husband would say something about me sleeping w bby when she was an infant . Delivery is deff important maybe like try to create safe space when you guys have some down time .
It's not nagging if it's a safety risk.
I have the same fear! My OH constantly falls asleep while holding our 4 mth old. And also doesn't constantly check that he's still breathing and positioned right to breathe. Can't relax, always looking over to watch if LO is breathing
My husband would also fall asleep with our baby on the couch. I know I did a few times early on. It was hard figuring out to talk with him about it. So I offered what I did when I noticed that I was tired too. Which was to go lay in bed with our baby. I offered to send information about chest sleeping and making sure the bed was set up for them beforehand. (Do want to add that we had been cosleeping already so chest sleeping or even doing naps in bed was already a safe option for us.)
Then I would say he absolutely cannot contact nap with her. He needs to be wide awake and sat upright. Watching telly or playing a game could help? It is so so unsafe sleeping on the sofa with a babe and he obviously knows that. Why would he even think about risking it?
isn’t the experience of your brother enough for him to never do that?
