Co-Sleeping or no?

We co sleep when our girl isn’t wanting to go back down in her crib. We know it’s not recommended but I’ve had nurses tell me that sometimes you have to do what you have to do for sleep.
I co sleep . We haven’t had any issues
Didn’t plan on it but I co slept with my daughter
I co sleep me and my sons dad love the snuggles … also keep in mind that majority of the world co sleep … it’s western counties that disapprove mostly , there are safe ways to do it and honestly I don’t like sleeping alone, I love cuddling so why should I force him to sleep by himself …
A good book is Safe Infant Sleep by James McKenna, PhD It takes about cosleeping especially with breastfeeding and how if done safely there are benefits. I never thought I’d co-sleep But your baby is 1? Why are people saying you shouldn’t?
I swore up and down before having my first daughter that I was NOT going to co sleep.. welp here I am almost 3 years later with both of my daughters in our bed! I have always believed it to be your choice! There are risk factors to then sleeping with you or even sleeping alone. I know the doctors had always said it wasn’t a good idea but I worked in health care prior to becoming a stay at home mom and all the doctors I ever worked with said they do it too! I would say other than the lack of sleep i get from now having two in my bed, I wouldn’t trade the cuddles I get from my babies every night. You do you mama, and don’t let anyone make you feel bad or like you are doing anything wrong. Everyone does this whole parenting thing there way!❤️
I also did not plan to co sleep but did not know how hard infant sleep was going to be! Breastfeeding while lying down in the middle of the night is a no brainer for me. It’s very modern to sleep independently
We co-slept until about 6 months. I definitely didn’t plan to and was very reluctant to bring baby in bed with me but I wouldn’t have gotten any sleep otherwise. I’m glad we did and my son transitioned to his crib eventually
I didn't co-sleep with My baby and now he sleeps in his own room 7-8 hours a night. Love it. Co-sleeping is okay as long as you are careful. But, when you're ready to sleep in your bed alone again it's gonna be a hassle because the baby is used to sleeping with you
@Vanessa That’s exactly when I loved co sleeping in the beginning, so much easier to just lay there and no even have to get up
@Sunset That’s awesome! 👏 I agree as now my babies are almost 3 and 1 and I know will be a challenge to get them into there own beds 😅🙄
I co sleep. Not every night but I do when he’s having a rough night or when I just want cuddles. Horrible things have happened bc of co sleeping but there are risks to everything. Nothing is 100%. Follow safe sleep 7 and do what’s best for you.
