Is it a bad idea to let your baby sleep in your bed when you first come home? I'm not asking if it's physically safe... so please don't comment on how I might squish him. I mean is it a bad idea later on? Like will he be more difficult to put to sleep on his crib?

I think as long as he doesnt get use to it you should be fine. I would let my youngest sleep in bed with me, especially nights i was too tired to get up and place her back in her crib but didnt make it a habit, she did great sleeping on her own as well.

A lot of people say different things. What I've learned so far is that you will do anything just to get some sleep in yourself. I have to cuddle my little girl for her to sleep.

Every baby is different. I co-slept until my daughter was 2 months then transferred her to her crib in her own room. The transition went smoothly it took less than a week to transition. My daughter was and still is really easy to transition to anything.

My son slept withe for 2 months after he was born, then he slept in the bassenette next to my bed until he grew out of that.

@sierra.rose6, he didn't get too clingy?

My mom told me "do not do this" @sierra.rose6, cause my sister didn't sleep alone till she was like 6 or 7. And they had made me share a room with her at that point. But I'm also thinking it's her personality and my mom being a pushover cause she also wouldn't stop breastfeeding till almost 4 when she was finally weened 😓

I want to bond as much with my baby as possible as long as it doesn't have any serious problems down the line as far as letting him sleep in my bed sometimes .

No he didnt, after two months he slept alone just fine and only when he wasn't feeling good he slept with me. He was still in my room but he sleeps in his own bed

@exoticyuri, my advise is don't listen to what other people tell u to do. Do what u want bc ur the mom and u know best. Now I will say my story my husband and I agreed we were going to let baby sleep in bed so we had a cosleeper custom built to attach to our bed like literally he was right next to us I could hang my boob in his sleeper while me in my bed and him in his. Well at 4m I got a cold almost lost my milk bc a med I took and had never pumped so had no milk for baby he would suck and suck for about 20hr lactation consultant said keep baby at boob as much as possible so I Let his stay on boob 24/7 for 2 night that became a habit he wanted me a paci so basically he does half night in sleeper and after his first wake up in our bed rest of night now he is getting to long for in I'm sad bc I don't want him in his room. Baby won't wanna sleep with mama when they r 16 so I say enjoy them while there little and as for ur sis i agree each personality is different u can't just think ur baby will b like her bc it probably won't. Honestly I would talk to your so about his thoughts
