I'm aware of SID. But wondering what you think of co sleeping with baby, with her in a basinet of sorts?

Can't imagine co-sleeping. I'll be so aware of every breath and every move as it is... will never be able to sleep lol

I have never had any trouble with that. I am a heavy sleeper and with my first one, I breast fed him and honestly did not want to get up at all 5 times throughout. I was hesitant at first but my husband and I did a trail run for one night. What saved us is that he is a light sleeper so he will wake up should anything ever happen (he wakes up if I turn while sleeping so I knew I could rely on that). It worked out fantastic. My son slept with us from then on out. He has always been OK, never an incident. He slept in the middle of us however, to prevent him from falling off the bed.

We just had the baby in a bassinet next to the bed for the first 4 months or so, and that worked fine. I tried bringing her into bed with us a few times and we just couldn't make her comfortable while still being safe. I know it works for a lot of people, just not for us.

I think it depends on you as a sleeper, but I slept with my son in the bed for the first 6 months lol.

Please don't do this... you will never be able to understand how dangerous this is until you hold (or are the one being held) a momma (or daddy) who has smothered their baby. It will never be worth it. There are better ways, always. Please don't cosleep.

Although I did contemplate this with my youngest, I decided no. Our bed is my time "Away" from the kiddos.

Co-sleeping is the best when done safely! It lets both parents & baby get more sleep actually.

Yes! I fully support co-sleeping, babies need us to help them get through the night while they are still learning about the world! I really like the dock-a-tot, so helpful.

I was advised not to ever bring a baby into my bed for smothering reasons. We kept a bassinet in our room for the first few weeks before moving him up to his own crib. We all actually slept better when he was in his own space (and using the monitor of course).

I think it's easy to pull a bassinet over to your bed while you're nursing but I wouldn't actually put the baby in the bed and sleep with it. Just too risky. Could roll off the bed or get smothered.

Co sleeping can be nice if you've had a c-section and can't get up and down quickly. I would just keep the bassinet in your room, rather than pulled up to your bed for safety reasons.

You can go on amazon ($40) and buy a co-sleeping little bed with a light. I am not one for co-sleeping but nursing I did have the baby in bed a lot and it was safer. She could roll inside the co-sleeper and it had sides that kept her safe. She could still touch and smell me (and the milk).

I found that a co-sleeper next to our bed worked. Then as the baby got older, we transitioned into a pack-n-play with the blanket from her crib. That way when she did naps during the day in her actual bed, she didn't have a hard time.
