Is anyone co sleeping?

I honestly co sleep with my baby my body knows when he’s by me so I stay in that one spot plus he sleeps on his stomach i know it wrong but if your baby likes to sleep by u or sleep better on you go for it I definitely understand your anxiety

If we can get sleep in the house, we co sleep. It’s been successful for us. He sleeps on his side onto of me with his blanket and my body wants me up to check on him throughout the night

I started cosleeping at night a few days in with our newborn to keep our sanity. I was VERY worried because, prior to giving birth, based on official recommendations, i had made up my mind that cosleeping wasn't safe and that he was going to sleep in his bassinet. What really helped ease my mind were the following things: i read in a publication thats based on james mckennas research that your body, even when asleep, generally is aware of its surroundings to some extent. That's why you don't just roll off the edge of your bed in the middle of the night or roll over a cat or dog that sleeps in the bed. I've slept with my small dogs in the bed before and i was like: huh good point, it's not like i wake up with my dog yelping because i started rolling onto him. The other thing was: it appears that the real big risk factors for sids when cosleeping are smoking and alcohol. If you don't smoke and don't drink (and your partner doesn't either!), then you have eliminated THE biggest risk factors.

I co sleep but i don’t feel aswell rested because my body feels almost like it’s on alert

Btw i also read don't swaddle their arms when cosleeping so that, if need be, they can use their arms to adjust their body for better breathing. Obviously do your own research just flagging that that's the info i got from what seemed like reliable sources.

I co slept with my daughter & im doing it rn with my son. I started doing bassinet sleeping for my daughter when she was 3 months old. I feel like as long as you are aware of your surroundings and not a super hard sleeper then it’s easier for mom and baby because they wake up so much in the newborn stage

Look up safe sleep 7!

My daughter will be a month old tomorrow and I have coast slept with her pretty much since we have been home and it’s honestly the only way that I have been able to get sleep at night now every once in a while I’m able to lay her down in a bassinet or a pack and play and get some time to myself for sleep but majority of the time she’s on my chest and I know it’s like a red flag to have a baby on her stomach But that’s the only way I can get her to sleep at times. That’s just what’s worked for me whatever works for you is gonna be what you do and obviously all of us moms can sit here and tell you what’s worked for us but until you figure out what works for you, you just gonna have to go with the flow I know that sounds kind of lame but I am a first time mom and I have only been a mom for less than a month so I’m really probably not the best person to be getting advice from

We put our baby in the snuggle me pillow and she sleeps inbetween my husband and I. We love it
