Co sleeping

Check out Safe Sleep 7. It’s helpful guidelines for safely bedsharing with LO.

Check out the Safe Sleep guideline and check out the Lullaby Trust. Co-sleeping can’t be done if baby was born prematurely just incase that’s the case x

she was born 38+3

That’ll be fine then. I just wanted to mention it as I couldn’t co-sleep with my daughter as she was born 4 weeks early x

I cosleep, started in the bed around 8 weeks. Joined a safe Cosleeping Facebook group and they were very helpful. I just feed him lying on my side. (That’s also how you’re supposed to sleep too, it’s called the C curl) …best decision ever.

i kept baby in a sidecar bassinet at mattress level so i could sleep with my arm around her. then from 4months—18months we bedshared and it was an extremely positive experience. followed the safe sleep 7 and mastered the side lying nurse position and got soooo much more sleep. if you can set up a little diaper changing caddy next to your bed so you dont have to get out of bed to change diapers, that really helps too.

Start with naps during the day! I held my baby and we’d sleep for hours together. During the day my sleep was lighter and i could easily see what was going on. She would be on my chest or in one arm as i laid on my back. The biggest threat is CO2 poisoning when they’re inhaling they’re own breath that can silently suffocate, make sure the fan is on and there’s no blankets covering their face and their face isn’t pressed into your body. Also swaddle baby at night for sleeping is the only thing that saved us. We would put her down like 10 times before she would actually go down… it was killer. You got this stay strong!

My son wouldn't sleep unless being held and I too was probably only getting 2 hours a day for the first 2 month of his life, I was very against co sleeping as I was scared of the risk. It's far better to safely co sleep than fall asleep with the baby in your arms when you're on the sofa or not in a safe position in bed. My boy insisted on sleeping on my chest quite often too which was a struggle to do in the safest way possible, obviously it's not completely safe but there is a lot of info online about how to try your best to make it safe. Me and my son now co sleep most nights. Definitely better when they get bigger and can move around a bit, it's now mine and my sons special snuggle time and my smart watch is telling me I've always scored excellent on my sleep app lol

Check out happycosleeper on instagram or fb group. she does offer bundles you can buy with all the information or it’s pretty much all on her page or in her highlights. It’s a lovely supportive community. I’ve been cosleeping with my son for 21m now. Happy to offer any advice if you want to dm me. But as long as the bed is firm and flat (not quilted/pillow top), you sleep in the cuddle curl position, keep all covers/pillows away from baby, you are not intoxicated
