co sleeping?

I think i want to co sleep buy im not sure, im kinda scared of suffocating her, silly i know! So my question is did you co sleep was it beneficial to you or would you advise against it?

I slept with both of my children from birth...which was very convenient when they were breastfeeding, but now they are 4 and almost 3 and it's so hard to get them the hell outta the bed.

Dd is 14 months and we love co sleeping! I didn't want to do it because I slept with my parents until I was 10...lol. But she came home from the hospital at 4lbs and I thought she'd freeze to death alone. I hope to transfer her right into a toddler bed soon...ish

I cosleep. And have since she came home from the NICU. If you do it right you won't suffocate her. Or you could get a sleeper you attach to the bed.

We are co sleeping but we didn't really start til he was about 3.5 months and started waking at night again. My best advice is really do your research and then decide. It's a personal decision, don't let anyone bully you one way or the other.

I think im just paranoid.

It's not really all that silly. I mean it's happened plenty of times before, so of course it is something to worry about. I am terrified to co sleep. I move around a lot in my sleep. I just don't trust myself. If you trust yourself enough to do it, then do it. I have heard from plenty of mamas that they love co sleeping & that their babies sleep even better that way.

Thank you i will do more research.  

I part time co sleep lol if someone else is putting the baby to bed she sleeps fine in her crib but if its me she won't let me lay her down. She sleeps so much better when she is next to me. I normally don't roll or move much in my sleep and it's a queen size bed so I place about a ft between us

We cosleep with our son. I started mostly because for the first 18 months of my son's life I was alone except on the weekends so it was easier for me. And now he's 2 1/2 and still sleeps in our bed but he starts out in his toddler bed and comes in our bed about 5 am. We're working on it and it's been easy. It was just right for our family. My husband loves it too.

But it's not right for everyone. So if you try it and don't like it don't feel bad.

We co-sleep we have since day 1 and I want him out of our bed!! Lol it's a painin the ass with DS transitioning him to his ccrib

I have a question though. If I decided I wanted to co sleep in the futire. When would it be safe? Like I said above, I move a lot in my sleep. I really don't want to risk hurting him.

i didn't co-sleep, but i did have DD in a bassinet RIGHT beside me until she was about 4 months old. after that, i tried to transition her into her own room in her crib. the first night, she woke up and cried and we brought her back to our room. we tried again the next week and it was a piece of cake. she has slept in there every single night since then (she'll be 9 months in a few days).

It's ok to be paranoid   *in certain situations, this included

I was a super single mommy so I coslept with my daughter until she was like..5 lol and then a few times after that when I couldn't afford a two bedroom place. I think we have a very close relationship but I can't sleep with her now..she snores like a goddamn bear lol

I am not sure what to do with this new baby coming! I have a husband now...I really really liked cosleeping but no idea how that would work with two people in bed
