I share a bedroom with my 2 year old right now til I get her bed set up and then she going into the room with her sister. and the baby going into the crib in our room so im all for the co sleep til there 2 in our room and she was in there from day one♡♡♡
we Co sleep but lately we've been bed sharing. my bf doesn't want to bed share but I keep falling asleep feeding her but thankfully she doesn't care if she's in bed or in her crib normally.
Co-slept with both my kiddos. Easier if you plan on breast feeding for sure. I really don't see the harm I guess. Both of mine could independently sleep in cribs at daycare and whatnot- they didn't depend on me too much
the first 2 weeks the baby wouldn't have it any other way and she was just too tiny for me to leave her alone. so I barely slept but a few hours but I don't move much. then I began putting her on the bassinet next to me. ..she did NOT LIKE THAT. but I'm a firm believer children (including babies) should not Co sleep with us. it takes away from the parents privacy and makes them too dependable on you. remember we love our children however we don't want to create a barrier between daddy and us. and believe it or not when we put the baby on the bed ...spouses are pushed aside! it took 1 week of being persistent before she felt comfortable on her own. (of course right beside me)
@deiona_mom2b16, it comes inside a travel bag like the portable chairs you buy so you can take it with you if need be. You can also buy a mesh cover attachment if you were to set it up at the park to keep flys etc out.
i co slept with my kids....but my first was very fussy bb...my second only slept with me when i breastfed and feel asleep. but he also slept on his own bed. so...i just winged it as i saw my kids wanted.
I'm planning on exclusively nursing and baby will sleep with me on my bed also. I'm scared of SIDS tho I'm stuck if maybe I should purchase a sleeper of some sort
SIDS research says that the baby should sleep on its own firm area so I think if you want the baby near you you should purchase one of those attachments that just snaps on to the side of the bed for the baby to sleep or you could put a bassinet right next to the bed but research says it dangerous for the baby to have them in the actual bed with you
