Newborn co sleeping - chest / c curl

Has to be the c position from birth. When a lot older can go on your chest but while so little the c position is protective to stop you from rolling on your baby in your sleep and keeps them flat which protects their airways

Have a look at the Happycosleeper on Instagram. She has some great stuff on chest sleeping as safely as possible. A lot of people chest sleep with their newborns but its a personal choice and you have to do everything from the advice to make it safe as you can. I chest slept with baby from 6 weeks to 10 weeks, as she had such bad reflux she couldn't lay flat on her back. We then moved to c curl, and she still bedshares with me at 6 months.

My baby slept on my chest from about 2 weeks til 7 weeks and then she co-slept. It can be done safely. As Catherine said, look into happycosleeper and make sure you are being safe

There’s a happy co sleepers Facebook group too you can ask for advice, post your set up for people to let you know how to improve etc. Isadora has done a lot of research for us and me and my baby have loved chest sleeping. In the night when he wiggles I just pop him on my chest and he falls back asleep immediately

We slept with her tucked inside my vest top on my chest with quite a few pillows so I wasn’t flat. I practised during the day for naps quite a bit before doing it at night around 6 weeks. We both slept so much better like that. And when it was feeding time she’d just start rooting and I’d feel so didn’t get to crying. I miss those moments!

We started with chest sleeping and then to C curl. I find C curl easier for me but initially my LO wanted to be held all the time and putting him down always woke him up.

Always C position - no guidance will encourage chest sleeping when parent is also asleep. Are you from the uk? I
