No but only cos we don’t need to at the moment, I don’t think it’s unsafe
Same as Leanne x
Chest sleeping because reflux 🥲 I tried c curl and she projectile vomited all over me 😭😭😂
@Lia my daughter has a cold at the minute so struggles to lay flat. I know it's the most dangerous way to sleep but I absolutely love chest sleeping... feels so natural! How do you find it? I hope your little ones reflux settles soon for you 🤞🥺
I don't think it's a dangerous way to sleep at all (as long as you do it safely), it's very natural, and if breastfeeding, even better, we are so in tune with our little ones, I find it safer than baby sleeping alone in a crib! I co-slept with my first baby until he was nearly one, and if he wakes up now myself or dad jump in his bed. My partner would happily have a giant bed, wall to wall with all of us sleeping in it together, we just don't have the funds 😂 Thanks, I hope your daughter's cold goes soon, it's horrible for them to be all congested 🥺
Not at the moment as next to me is going well! I co slept with my first and it was amazing, he is now 2.5 sleeps in his own bed for any moms constantly get the ‘they will never be able to sleep on their own’😂
When my daughter was a newborn, she would only sleep on mine and my husband’s chests. We had to take turns in the night holding her so the other could sleep. Then, she slept in her bassinet for almost 2mo…then she hit a regression and I had to put her into bed with me so she’d sleep longer than 30min at a time. Now she is 15mo and still in bed with me (although we don’t have to follow the same rules as we did when she was under a year). I also have a sidecar crib that she would sleep in too. Bedsharing can be done safely IF you are very vigilant, adapt proper positioning, ensure you have an appropriate mattress, are a light sleeper and do not use any substances. :) If your baby is sick, then there’s nowhere they sleep better than on you or next to you.
That’s the only option for me to get some sleep. I let him chest sleep on me and then put him down next to me. In the middle of the night I BF lying on the side, then move myself away as he falls asleep. During the day he sleeps in the pod. I was a bit scared in the beginning but it’s feels so natural and we both get better sleep this way. I can also pat him for reassurance in the middle of the night and hug him when he stirs and is about to wake up, he then usually falls asleep again. I intend to move him into sleeping separately when he starts sleeping longer and this 4th trimester is over. For now it works for us and I feel it is as safe as the cot sleeping. The only thing is I miss sleeping with by husband.
I voted no but only because we have a dog who has been used to jumping on our bed in the morning for 3 years! I think it’s also a confidence thing for every parent.. We personally don’t feel confident enough, but it also helps that baby is happy in her next to me bed obviously! I would never think bad of anyone who does co-sleep safely :) x
These “No” people are not well informed imo. Obviously it’s not safe if you do it unsafely!
