What are your opinions on co-sleeping? I personally didn't co-sleep just because my partner is a heavy sleeper so I was always so paranoid of him squishing the baby. I just want to know what are your opinions about this?
So I've close up with my son since he was born. There was like time in between there where he did sleep in his own crib. But then he stopped sleeping through the night so he sleeps with us. I feel like if you're safe about it, it's okay.
We personally did not co-sleep. I'm a very heavy sleeper and so is my husband, therefore we just didn't feel comfortable doing it. So we didn't like co-sleep just because it gave me a lot of anxiety.
I've slept with every single one of my children. I have three girls and they have always slept in the bed with me from the moment they were born and I absolutely believe in it and I love it and I wouldn't change a thing about it.
I love that. Honestly, I wish I could have but once again, my partner is such a heavy sleeper that I was always so paranoid. I just couldn't do it but she sleeps right next to us anyways so kinda go sleeping I guess.
I did um and then or then we also took off the railing from his crib and it's the same level as our bed so we did that but it was kind of like cold sleeping because he was next to us but now we're in his he's in his room
yeah so we co-sleep in that kind of way where like my daughter's crib is right next to me um but like we didn't we never put her into the bed just because my partner is such a heavy sleeper that was always so paranoid
My opinion is I love to go sleep with my children because it makes me sleep better. It makes them sleep better. But if I had it off on my way I wouldn't go sleep because then they get used to it even.
Yeah, I think that's also difficult is the transition from cold sleeping to independent sleeping. I give props to moms who dedicate themselves to do the transition.
Even when they get older and when they get older it's a lot harder to put them back in their bed. I have a one year old and a six month old and my six month old is finally getting used to her bath and head again but my one year old is getting a little too used to sleeping with me. So...
I would have to say probably while they're like younger like my six month old probably co-sleeping and just get like a side bassinet or something but when they're like a little bit more up there like you
When they're like 18 months, like not even that, like 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 months, then I would recommend putting them back in their toddler bed because my son was so good at sleeping.
in his toddler bed and then he got a little tease sleeping with me and he still sleeps with me but I also don't have his toddler bed anymore so I got I had to get rid of it so I have to get a new one when I get my own place
This is such a good question and I was a breastfeeding mom and my son breastfed for nine months. So for those nine months I was practically his pacifier at night and I co-slept with him, but I really feel like it just depends on the parent and whatever your comp-
The key was to sleep on my side. And there was like a kind of a subconscious fear of rolling over on him, but I never did. I was really a light sleeper, but he breastfed the whole night and I laid on my side.
I'm such a light sleeper too but I move around a lot like I'm comfortable for my back for like a little bit and then after rollover's I feel like just sleeping on my side would just kill me
