Husband concerned with co sleeping

How old is she? It can be pretty risky before a year old. Mine is 6 months I’m too scared to for the same reason. Maybe one of those bedside bassinets that are open so she can be literally right next to you with no barrier? Or is that what you already have?

If both of you aren’t 100% comfortable please please don’t risk it ! Especially if you two are heavy sleepers. I’ve co slept with my daughter sense she was a newborn she’s now 20 months old. I followed safe co sleeping and have never let her sleep between us. But he has never been worried and is totally aware of her and I even when sleeping.

Follow happycosleeper on insta. Cosleeping with my almost 7 months old, the most important thing is set up. As a mom or a responsive caregiver, you won’t roll over your baby in a c curl OR they won’t fall of if you’re doing floor bed or other safe arrangements for it. You’re all good and cosleeping isn’t all or nothing, we do things we “shouldnt” but cosleeping isn’t a communication. Your baby will let you know.

I also follow happy cosleeper. Really like. We do what she does and hubby moved to a different room 🫶

I cosleep with my 10 month old as well, been cosleeping since he left the nicu. I sleep with my pregnancy pillow so his head is always on the pillow so when I lay on my side his legs are on top of me and I keep the cover wrapped under him so he can’t turn and fall onto the floor. He knows when to move away if he gets too hot but he’s always have to be touching me.

I believe the official AAP advice is not to bed share before 6 months. Feel free to fact check me on that.

That being said, with my first baby i did not co-sleep, and i was up and looking at her/the baby monitor practically all night. I was so paranoid I couldn't sleep.
With my second baby, I co-slept from the beginning (which is normal almost everywhere in the world - that doesnt make it right, but clearly lots of people are doing it and they don't deem the risks worth changing things). I slept so much better with him right by me. We are very in tune with eachother. And I've never come close to hurting him.
There are some interesting studies about the bond between cosleeping parents and babies. That being said, if you and your husband and baby are all in the same bed, there could be some risk of Dad hurting baby, but not necessarily.
Not only do I still sleep with him, my husband sleeps with our toddler now. And everyone sleeps better this way.
Im not saying this will work for everyone, but it does for us
