Co-Sleeping

So many positives but also a lot of risks. Some moms do it but change the environment to make it safer. It seems the softness of the mattress / blankets is a huge variable for safety. It has a lot to do with suffocation of baby and is linked to SIDs. But it depends on if you have a soft mattress and a ton of items around baby. I navigate this by doing contact naps during the day when I’m not sleeping or my partner isn’t sleeping. I move away pillows and covers and set up a boundary to avoid rolling over. It’s sooo nice to cosleep but I only do it during the day with supervision. At night, I might be too deep in sleep or might not see if my baby is in distress. I’d like to think my mother’s intuition would catch anything off, but it’s a risk I’m not willing to take. Every mom does things different, though.

Lullaby trust website has the safe sleep seven and explains how to co sleep safely.
A lot don't reccomend it but I have had a HV reccomened of needed and was told to check out the Lullaby Trust website for guidance on doing it safely if we choose too.
We are lucky baby is a good sleeper in her own space but have co slept on occasion whem she has been poorly and unsettled using their guidance. X
