Cosleeping in newborn phase

Following

We did for the first three months and it was a life saver for us! And he sleeps really well on his own now with no issues. He actually completely refuses to sleep in bed with us now 😂 but yeah it was sooo helpful.

I did it from 3 months on because I was too scared initially. But then I read “Sweet Sleep” book by LLLI , with all the research on co-sleeping, and it convinced me it’s safe if done right. I will be bedsharing with my next baby from birth, you and baby get so much more sleep that way ! Just make sure you follow Safe Sleep 7 rules.

My baby is almost 4 months. We've been cosleeping since he was around 2 weeks. It was the only way we were both getting sleep and the easiest way to handle night feeds since I'm breastfeeding. If I had been more prepared rather than scared of cosleeping I would have done it since bringing him home. I absolutely love it! And we are both still sleeping really well at night. The only rough part is that he has refused to sleep in his bassinet since we started cosleeping. So I have to either hold him for his first stretch of night sleep or be in bed with him when he goes to bed. I haven't had luck being able to roll away and have him stay asleep.

I coslept with my baby at night for his first 5-6 months! I always made sure he had his own space in the bed with no blankets/pillows. daytime naps were almost always in his crib unless we were contact napping. i stopped cosleeping once he became more mobile (able to roll) as I felt the risk of him rolling off the bed was too high. he is now 14 months and a great sleeper! the transition to sleeping in his crib at night wasn’t bad since he was already used to taking naps in his crib during the day. I just made sure to use the same sleep routine at night as I did during the day (dark room, sound machine, bottle). he loves his crib now actually and hates sleeping anywhere but his crib 😅

Absolutely I done it every time it's so much easier cause baby don't even need to cry most time when needs something just rolling around would wake me enough to know baby needed food so I could feed while still kinda half asleep and never had to get up so I felt like I got more sleep then if I were had to get up every time aka wake fully up and then have hard time getting back to sleep

6 months in, and he’s been sleeping the entire night (me as well) since 2 months! We bedshare/breastfeed on top of cosleep. 🤍

The first 2 weeks I was to afraid to but I literally barely got any sleep ever ngl. Then I started napping with him with someone else there awake to make sure all was well. It was working so I kept it up. Eventually no one could watch over us like that of course but we've been co sleeping safely since. I love it because yes I get a good 8-10hrs of sleep every night. I feel like at first it's more anxiety inducing tho and you gotta be more careful because they can't move their own little heads around very well. But after month 2/3 is when I was more comfortable doing it

We did a bassinet next to the bed and our son almost slept through the night from the start. He’d wake up for one feeding around midnight to 1a. He’s 17 months now and still sleeps through the night.

Loving all these answers and experiences!! Thank you all ❤️
