I just got chewed out for cosleeping??
Okay.
For 2 weeks I made my son sleep in his bassinet and he would only sleep for 45 mins at a time! I started putting him in bed with me and he sleeps 3 to 4 hrs! I was literally a mess and so emotional from not sleeping. Not to mention I was getting irritated at my own baby because I was so tired! Now we both sleep wonderfully and get to snuggle. I know the risks and it hits close to home since my bf lost his daughter but I also know we both need sleep. How do you bring a newborn in to this world that was inside of you for 40 weeks and just throw them in to a bed by themselves? It works for some but it didn't work for us! He won't always want his mommy snuggles and kisses so for now I'm gonna soak it up! I slept in my parents room till I was 6 and while I won't let him sleep in our room that long I'm perfectly ok with just taking it day by day!
we've been co sleeping for 6 months and its what's best for US. just like its best for YOU. no, its not for everyone...just like breastfeeding isn't for everyone and the CIO method isn't for everyone. people like to bash others for doing things that they don't personally agree with. there are actually tons of benefits to co sleeping that aren't ever discussed because people are too set in their own ways. but all that matters is that your child is happy and healthy and loved.
Yeah, I don't even read comments about stuff like that-cosleeping, extended breastfeeding, baby wearing, vaccinating, etc I usually end up annoyed so I don't bother lol to each its own
@bianca_rose, @lydia007 @sabreycastro1996 there's safe ways to do it but I don't think ppl realize that
@sabreycastro1996, a stupid mom group on fb! I see people making comments about it here too all the time!
I cosleep and she's 4 mos now, if I didn't neither of us would ever sleep.
That was uncalled for, whoever take uncalled for words to say. I love co-sleeping. It's what works for us too!
@amber188, exactly. I have 9 month old twins and I've found a way to make it work since they were born. Each month or two, I find another way since they become more mobile. Now, I have a queen and twin bed together so it's large as hell but just the mattress on the floor. My husband and I sleep with them and wouldn't have it any other way. I say, if baby is happy and safe, we all do what's best for ours.
