Co sleeping one year old

So how do you safely co sleep with one year old?
We have never co slept, but with this heat we are all gonna have to share a room to try and cool down with one fan but I’m worried my baby is going to crawl/fall out the bed when I’m asleep?!

Are the rooms next to eachother? I have a fan in the hallway and have it turning so it’s blowing into all rooms rather than all in one bed sweating 🤣

You’ll be surprised at how quickly your body will naturally respond to your baby waking up. make a pillow wall at the side of the bed. you could also put him in the middle of you and your partner (make sure pillows are out of the way). Check the safe sleep 7 x

Breastfeeding constantly

Hello mums 👋 I'm a first time Mummy to my gorgeous boy Albie who is now 2 1/2 weeks old. I've been combination feeding so my husband can bottle feed when I get some sleep for the first part of the night however I have found that when breast feeding I am feeding constantly. He will fall asleep on the breast and despite all the usual attempts, he won't wake up. When I try and put him down or get my husband to take over, he will start screaming and rooting again. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience of this and if it's normal?

Thanks in advance

Snoozeshade

I was wondering if anyone has used a snoozeshade for the pram. It’s meant to not create heat inside but want a better alternative than an umbrella.

Bedtime

Do you have a set bedtime? I try and start the routine of bath, story, feed and bed from about 9pm but don't know if this is too late. Wakes anytime between 3. 30-5 for a feed and then again at 6 and then wake for the day at 8.30. Only has 2-4 naps during the day - either following feed or when out for a walk

They are the only reason 👣👣👣💔!!!!!

What age did you stop with monitors?

Hey mums,

What age did you stop using a camera/monitor to keep an eye on your little ones at night time?

Co sleeping with toddler and newborn in room

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with baby number 2. My boy will be just over 2 and a half when baby comes.
I have bed shared with my toddler since he was about 10 months old.
I don’t want to push him out when baby comes but he is a light sleeper and I am worried baby will wake him too much. We already sleep with white noise on all night.
Has anyone else successfully done this? Any tips?
My plan is to have baby in next to me crib, not in the bed whilst they’re so young.
