How many of you have been cosleeping with your baby? I personally went from having a bunch of cribs and bassinets, to having a 2 week old baby in the bed with us!! lol I was so against it at first because it does have its cons, but my baby seems to be hating anything else BUT the bed⦠We use a baby lounger and she loves it. And being a breastfeeding mom, I find it very easy to just grab baby next to me, feed her, and then back to sleepā¦

We also Cosleep, it will be 5 of us in the bed soon š

I was against it at first because I didn't want my baby to suffocate...I was afraid my boobs would suffocate baby too. š But as I had an adjustable bed and a pregnancy pillow co sleeping worked better for me and my anxiety...I would put baby in bassinet and I was checking in them constantly to check to make sure they were still breathing. I liked the feeling of sleeping better with the baby.

Yup 2 cots completely wasted hereš¤¦š½āāļøš

11 months of co-sleeping with my 15month old. We had a bassinet, but once the 4 month sleep regression hit, the only thing that saved us was co-sleeping. Still breastfeeding tooš¤

20 months of cosleeping here (started straight from birth even tho I didnāt plan to) and will 100% be doing it again with baby number 2! I think thereās so many misconceptions about cosleeping but if you respect some rules thereās also sooo many advantages!! Totally agree on the practicality to breastfeed, I could not imagine having to getup or even sit up in the middle of the night just to breastfeed š

Previously, I held strong reservations about having by baby sleeping with me, particularly due to concerns if somethinng happen to him. However, my perspective has shifted considerably. My child now co-sleeps with me, which, while perhaps influenced by my own desire for convenience, is primarily driven by the need for frequent breastfeeding every 2-3 hours. I sleep better with him next to me, when my baby was in a crib, I found myself waking more frequently to monitor their breathing.
He is 3 months tomorrow

Coslept with my first from birth (sheās 3 and still usually ends up in our bed) and our second is 10 months and still sleeps next to me. I get the best sleep from it + people forget/donāt know how incredibly common it is! My Asian family all cosleep, there are ways to do it safely to minimise risks etc.

I wasnāt planning on co sleeping but she wonāt sleep in the cot I became her bed lol

Never planned to cosleep. Started with my first son when he hit the 4 month sleep regression and would no longer transfer and was up every hour. With my second I started cosleeping with him from the second night when I was home after not getting even a minutes sleep the whole night I was in hospital as he just wanted to be on me. When people who have children say 'i would never cosleep' I just think how lucky they are that they had good sleepers who would go in their own sleep space. It does feel very natural when you are breastfeeding.
Just to note, safe sleeping guidelines advises against using baby loungers/ pods/ nests. It is safer to have baby on the mattress next to you following cosleeping guidelines. The Lullaby Trust are great for info on this.

Same

Same!

Yes I coslept with both babies since birth

My baby is 5 months. She goes back and forth from her crib to my chest or bed. Depends on what type of day she had š
