Co-sleeping?

posted 26th Nov
Ok ladies I need some help. Or some advice.
So my Son is out growing his bassinet, which is right next to my side of the bed. It's easy for me to just roll over and pick him up to be fed and changed and swaddle him back up if needed. But since he is out growing it, My husband has been pushing me to start letting him sleep in his crib. Im NOT ready for him to sleep in his own room. I have a playpin that has a bassinet attachment and he naps in there during the day... Im wanting to push that into the bedroom next to my side of the bed so he can sleep next to me... But I have no idea how to break it to my husband that Im just not ready for him to sleep in his crib... He gets angry with me because he sleeps in our room... but i don't mind it. I feel so much more comfortable that way. I don't understand why he cares so much about it... It's not like he gets up with the baby in the middle of the night. Any advice?

Just get it over with and tell him. I'd hope he would be supportive.

How old is your son? I have a three week old and my husband is already pushing me to move him to the crib, but my problem is that I still have a 1yr old in the crib and if I move DS to it then I have to move DD to a toddler bed and I am just not ready for that mess yet so I just tell him to deal with it for a little bit longer their only little for a short time...he is still a bit huffy but I dont really care so DS stays in the bassinet for a little while still

I've tried. But he just gets angry and tells me to get over it. But I can't. Sometimes My son spits up when he shifts around and he chokes, I've woken up to him choking and gagging on spit up a few times and it scares me to death that if he starts sleeping in his own room, I won't make it in time if he starts choking.

That is a valid reason for him to sleep in the room with us. And I haven't brought it to to my Husband. But I sure hope he understands how I feel on it.

I didn't co-sleep because I was trying to co-sleep in elementary school. lol I remember in about kindergarten sneaking my parents room and sleeping at the foot of the bed.

While Co-sleeping isn't for everyone he needs to be supportive.

make him sleep on the couch then! that's what DH does when he knows he needs a full nights' sleep for school and work (he prefers to sleep with both of us but if he has a big test and work he knows he has to get a good nights' sleep... especially since he's just 3 weeks away from his BA) we have DS in our bed most nights since he doesnt really like to go back in his bassinet after I feed him lol

i understand both sides but u ahve been getting ur way for a while and u havent even tried haveing baby in his crib u should at least try it for ur hubby its not very romantic haveing a baby there and possibly wakeing him up etc i know its easyier to have him next to u for feeding how old is he and at what age do u plan to stop breast feeding him and when u are done u gonna move him to his crib then i mean u have to do it some time why wait and u dont want ur co sleeping to cause problems in the bedroom or in ur relationship other wise cause it does affect it have u asked ur hubby why he dont want baby in there any more or at all he may have good reasons and he may be selfish either way u have to take him into consideration its his room to maybe u could work out a deal like he will le tbaby stay for a little longer a month or 2 and u can transition baby to his crib during that time and for naps it may work better than telling him flat out no

Yep I got one of those too, scares the crap out of me when I get up to grab the boppy pillow to feed DS and I step on a little girl asleep on our floor....or just to wake up with her staring at me

He is 3 months. He says DS is old enough to sleep in his room. I looked at him and told him, "Look, I'm the one who gets up with him at night while you snore all over the place, having to get up and walk all the way to his room, and do our routine is going to be a little harder on me when he could just be NEXT to me in his bassinet."
My son doesn't sleep through the night either, he is breastfed so i think that could be the reason? He wakes up at least 4 times a night. So just imagine how grumpy i would be if i had to get in and out of bed to go to his room... when I could just roll over and get him.

My dad almost broke my wrist once. We just moved into a house and there were mice in the attic...well one night I crawled in and held his arm to steady me and in his sleep he thought it was a mouse and grabbed my wrist and was squeezing thinking it was the neck! lol I was like "Daddy, daddy, daddy!!!" lol I don't remember but my mom has told me. lol

How old is baby?

I co-slept for 4yrs, and even when we did stop, her bed was still in our bedroom, for a few months....so I know how you feel about not wanting baby to sleep in his/her own bedroom.  

He should be supportive though, that's for sure.
