can someone explain to me exactly what co-sleeping is? I'm guessing it obviously means the baby sleeps in your room but where? I definitely want to have my little girl sleeping in my room for a while, anyone help?
yeah I was thinking something still because that might make her dizzy to be swinging that long. I found a bassinet at wal mart so I guess I'll just get that
I personally wouldnt do a swing. Get a sleeper rocker its like a bassenet but will last up to 12 months even though you shouldnt let them sleep in it past the time they start rolling over. A swing isnt recomended for sleeping at night and the rocker is safer since its mesh sides and plastic seat built in under the padding.
I have a sleeper rocker for my son to sleep in for the first few months. It has mesh sides which was a big deal for me since I dont want him to turn his head and suffocate. I dont have room for a crib so we are using a pack and play with a mattress in it after he out grows the rocker. I just want him next to me so I can grab him up and breast feed without havin to get up and waking my fiance for the first few months.
I found it easier breast feeding and him in the room. But of course me being me I did have him sleep on my chest in bed with me every so often. Now he sleeps in his rock on play or swing.
thank you ladies I figured but I heard ppl talking about co sleeping furniture I guess they just meant a bassinet? I'll def be having ours in the room for her to sleep in my bf is 320lbs so I'd never risk her sleeping w us. he's 6'3 and just a big guy.. (not fat) lol but definitely at least while breast feeding
Just in the same room or bed. I have a little bassinet made to keep in the bed with you so they aren't in any danger. But usually he sleeps in his pack and play next to the bed!
