Co-Sleeping

Make sure you're following the advice from the Lullaby Trust

I co-slept with my first from a few months old and he still sleeps with dad and I’ve co-slept with my second from birth.

Follow the safe sleep 7 x

Yes, we co-sleep, or i think I'd have lost my mind by now. Follow safe sleep 7 always!

The happy cosleeper on Instagram is worth a follow if thats helpful.

You want to make your bed as clear as possible, no extra pillows, no blankets above the waist etc. Firm mattress. And sleeping in the cuddle curl position.

Yes we co sleep following safe sleep advice from the Lullaby trust ☺️ also co slept with our first. Definitely helped with getting a bit more sleep x

I’ve been doing it since she was days old. Always co-slept with all my children as well, it’s the only way I’d get any sleep 😂 they never actually went into their cot until at least 12 weeks old, if not a lot later.

We have a super kingsize bed so it’s basically like having 2 singles which makes it easier. But my husband always stays on his side of the bed- we don’t like touching at night anyway so it’s easy.

She has her sleeping bag, I have a throw or duvet keeping my lower part warm, and then my nightie with easy access to feed throughout the night.

If she’s not latched on, her face is usually snuggled next to my boob so I always feel her warmth. If I don’t, I wake up- usually she’s just wiggled slightly away from me 😭

When she’s been in her cot, I just can’t sleep as I worry more about her. At least next to me, I feel her breathing and know she’s ok.

I used to sometimes do this after her early morning feed, she’d just fall asleep feeding and sleep next to me if not back in her basket or crib. I think it was a nice balance and got to enjoy the morning cuddles. Like everyone’s said just follow the safe sleep advice x

yep. we co sleep after the first wake up which could be anything from 12-3am. its the best and we get way more sleep this way and I feed in side lying for the rest of the night x
