I know it's not recommended to let your baby sleep in your bed with you.. But as a FTM I'm completely scared of SIDS and him possibly suffocating on a blanket he pulled to his face.. Yes my 1 week old is able to get the covers from his body to his face.(his father sleeps the same way). Don't know how.. But how do I get over that.. I am recovering from a c section so getting up quickly is not my strongest move at the moment.. 😩😩😩. I don't like this paranoid worry feeling. I swear if I can't see him sleeping, I'm scared. I even leave a night light so I could make sure I can see his face at night.
Really? Good to know. It could preoccupy my time while he is sleep.
@sharondeshonta, it works if not knit one yourself. It's actually very easy I learned off of a YouTube video.
@guaderrama_babies2, my aunt was suppose to knit one for me, she told me to give her till the end of this week if not I'm definitely going to buy one. Because every night I'm taking the covers off his face
@proudmomma2016, girl me too. We have to sleep with the tv on until we get a night light. We constantly loose our phone in the bed so we stopped doing that.. I can't hear everything but I can hear every sound or move he makes.. Everything else around me if I'm sleep I can't hear it.
If he likes covering his face try a knitted blanket. They usually have holes and are very breathable. I've been sleeping with my son since he was a newborn and he is 10 months old now. He will sleep on his own but I like him sleeping with since my boyfriend works 3rd shift.
@sharondeshonta, it's hard to get them to sleep in a crib after sleeping with mommy and daddy for so long. but it's definently worth it
@allyk.xmommy, girl that's how I'm feeling right now. I only get sleep if he is in the bed with me.. Other than that I can't. My sister in law has offered to watch him so I could sleep and I couldn't even sleep then. Not even with his own father. I think I am about to do it for a couple months and when I know he can turn his head when he cant breath. I will put him in the crib. I think for now. I will just keep doing what I'm doing. I appreciate your support as well.
Exactly. Works for everyone in the house :) and you're welcome! @sharondeshonta
when my son was born, I didn't sleep. I could not sleep at all while he slept or was awake. so after about a week of not sleeping I put him in my bed, and he and I slept so amazingly. I did that for the first 3 months
@taraduffy79, thank you for the support 😁😁 glad to know I'm not the only one who does it.
@taraduffy79, i do turn but i wake myself up to do so.. And I use my maternity pillow as a guard for him.. Being that it's both me and my boyfriend and the baby in the middle.. And it does give me a good night sleep because I can just open my eyes for a few seconds. Make sure his face isn't covered and he is breathing and go back to sleep..
In any other country beside the US mom's Co-sleep. It's just natural. As long as you do it safely and know your body (that you don't roll over in your sleep) I say Co sleep on mama if that's what works for you. I've been doing it 5 months straight and it's the best thing I could've done for my Lil man and I. We both get a full nights sleep and so does everyone else in the house @sharondeshonta
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Where is everyone from? Roll Call Anyone?! ???
I have noticed that everyone on here is from a little bit of everywhere & i was just curious to see where everyone was from...don't be shy...I'll go first ?
first night away from my baby..💔he's in a whole different house..I miss him already..)': but I get to see him tomorrow for his circumcision which I'm also nervous about 😩
Is there anyone that didn’t get their drivers license until they were older? My brother still hasn’t taken his test. (mother and Aunt would rather get him an ID so he can start working and take him to and from work) just curious to see if it’s more common than I think.
So my ex went to court and filed for visitation rights. I was served last week. I am not comfortable with our daughter being around him alone nor his mother which he lives with. I have proof of him asking me to take his drug test for his job for him in text messages and him texting me he was too high to drive and get our daughter milk. Is that enough to show the judge? As far as his mother she watches his son quite often and told us she gives him nighttime medicine if she has problems getting hi...
