Omg… I literally could have written this post! I feel like cosleeping is my only option but I’m worried about something going wrong
Do u have a baby nest
I had my baby in bed with me in her baby nest on top of a pillow she slept by the wall and I slept in the middle of her and my partner she absolutely loved it it made sure that she was safe and I was physically unable to role on her or suffocate her in Anyway while ensuring we both got sleep
@Sofiya same here 😢😢 I’ve always said I’ll never co sleep but I now understand why people do it. I just don’t know if I could and I feel so stuck 😓😓😓
@Ella I don’t have one but I’ll definitely consider getting one, just so worried to co sleep 😢
There's honestly no need to worry so much we have instincts as a moms to know where our kid is loads of people co sleep with no problems aslong as it's done safe I just make sure she's to high to be rolled onto and I face her I barely ever roll over my baby sleeps well knowing I'm next to her and i feel better knowing she's safe
With my little boy, it's still hit and miss whether he will sleep in his own bed. But what helps us is to warm it up first and just consistently trying to put him in it to sleep. Doesn't always work, but I prefer that to co sleeping because it does worry me the risks x
My little boy is still in his Moses basket, the first two nights home he did not sleep in it, I was up for those two nights and days, and I use a cellular blanket underneath (tucked in like a sheet) in the Moses basket, I got signed off from the midwife’s to do this as it traps heat, and since then he’s slept amazing, waking 2 hourly for feeds. I think temperature is a lot for them at night, especially now it’s going colder. I will use a another cellular to cover him, he will kick this off and be more settled without x
I trialled it during the day so I could watch him and make sure he couldn’t lift or more the blanket underneath x
Have you tried swaddling? It really helped us when our daughter was this age up until we had to stop when she was about 3/4 months and showing signs of rolling x
