Did you/do you permit your toddler sleep surrounded by bed near you?
Answers: yes but i would keepmy arm around him and i would not move at all.
Yes, but we practice safe co-sleeping. We dont smoke, drink, use drugs, lift prescriptions, or do anything that would make us sleep deeper than normal. We dont use an overly soft matress, and we maintain our bedding away from the baby.
Co-sleeping is very nontoxic if done properly. People say "oh, you can roll over on the baby!" Think around this: Most of us have the ability to NOT roll out of bed. We somehow merely know where the edge is. Thats also how we are competent to remember to not roll onto our babies, even when we are sleeping.
Young babies have erratic breathing patterns. Being close to other humans help regulate their breathing, and can help rouse them from apnea (episodes of stopping breathing, which is very adjectives for babies).
People say that co-sleeping kills babies. Well, how plentiful babies die of SIDS in cribs? MANY! If the parents are able to co-sleep undamagingly, it is the better choice for the baby. Studies show that mothers instinctively reach out to their babies surrounded by their sleep, if the baby stops breathing (which again, is very common), and the infant is roused and reminded to breathe.

Yes I did for 2 months. My baby would start to cry when I put him in his bassinet at night time but he have no problem to sleep in his crib or bassinet during the day. I have no choice and I had to put him asleep next to me. It wasn't assured and it took me a while to get him used to sleep in his crib but it be worth to try. Everybody was telling me to do it as soon as possible because longer you loaf, harder will be to so. Now he is 2,5 months and sleeps in his room in his crib. I own monitor in my room, he sleeps a way better, me too and hubby is satisfied he has me back by his side :D LOL sometimes i consent to my son sleep in the same bed near me, but usually he sleeps in the crib. when its time for bed, i lay him in bed next to me... and let him fall asleep subsequent to me.
some nights i will allow him to sleep in the bed, other night i put him in his crib.
you really have to look out when allowing your child to sleep in the same bed as you. you can roll over on your tot in the middle of the night... and or if your infant knows how to roll over, can roll right off the bed...
I did not choose to co-sleep. We hold a small (double, not queen/king) bed, and I have a hard time sleeping contained by contact with other people. (Even hubby.) So, aside from a few night where I fell asleep while she was nursing, she slept contained by a bassinet or her crib. And all was economically.
(If you choose to co-sleep, it is safe if you take uncomplicated precautions. [No fluffy pillows/comforters, no gaps between bed and wall/headboard that baby can slip into, no smoking or drug use by any parent. It's usually safest too to have baby sleep on the 'outside' not between the parents. [Fathers are smaller number 'tuned into' their babies. If you're worried that baby will fall out of bed, put some cushions down on the floor.]])
Yes, I co sleep beside baby and we have never have a problem till this week when she really started moving around. Shes 8 mos now. We have be trying to put her in her crib for the last few night and she screams for hours till we eventually give within and let her sleep with us.
I dont know what to do in a minute.
Co sleeping is wonderful for nursing mothers like myself. It's called living the 'family bed' vivacity which is really good for bonding etc.
But like I said...It's without doubt terrible when its time for them to finally go contained by the crib. You have to weigh the pros and cons. If I had it to do over I dont know what I would do.
p.s. Co-sleeping can be dicey! Baby should sleep in between you and your man or at least hold guard rails. If either of you are strapping sleepers I wouldnt recomend it.
good luck
I did for a while when she was younger, when she'd stir up but wasn't hungry and it wasn't quite time for daddy and I to wake up but. We also took quite a few naps together within the first month or two. She slept really well that way, and any move she made, I be awake - however I couldn't get very much done that channel so I started putting her down and swaddling her in the crib - which has worked impressively well for her. Yes. My daughter is 9 months old and still sleeps beside me. I'm a firm believer in co-sleeping. There are so many benefits to it! It's not predictable for your child to get suffocated as long as you have adequate room in the bed for it to sleep (we have a king size bed) and as long as you aren't beneath the influnence of any alcohol or drugs. My daughter breastfeeds and it makes it very unproblematic at night. She doesn't even wake up, she merely rolls toward me and makes a little commotion. Its so cute. I could never imagine making her sleep in a crib away from me! We are thoroughly safe about it and I presume it is very beneficial as long as you are safe! I read Dr. Sears books and he is pro co-sleeping, here is a intertwine to his website:

Only a handful of times when they were very childish, while breastfeeding. (I have a fear of rolling over higher than them, that's my personal reason for not cosleeping... I'm a very philosophical sleeper.)
When my oldest was 10 months old, he slept beside me for a year while my husband was deployed to Iraq. once again, b/c I'm a deep sleeper and my husband wasn't at hand to help me listen for him. He was older enough that I wasn't worried about rolling over on him. (No problems getting him put money on to his bed.)
My son did because that is the easiest way for him to sleep but I am going to try to not do it beside my next baby. It isn't comfortable, I could never trickle into a deep sleep, and my husband is a heavy sleeper so I be always worried about him rolling over. I hold a bigger bed now but it's also higher rotten the ground. My child will sleep in the bassinet this time no matter what it take. Hopefully! LOL! I chose not to. I just couldn't live with myself if he fell out of the bed or smothered. I'm a pretty open sleeper and I don't trust him in the bed with me. Besides I come up with its good for him to sleep in his own room. My son will sometimes wake up up before I do and play in his crib and he give me a big smile when I go in his room contained by the morning. I think its great that he likes his room and his crib.
when i BF my daughter (up till 3 months) i would put her surrounded by her bassinet after a feeding and a bath. afterwards she would wake up for a feeding and i'd bring her to bed. i held her close AND NEVER EVER MOVED. when she get hungry through the night i would just nurture her right there in bed and we'd both dribble back asleep.
i always woke up beside me and my daughter in the same place we be in.
now that she isn't BF, she sleeps contained by her crib. we've tried letting her sleep woth us but she didn't like adn WANTED to be in her own bed. thank god for that cuz i couldn't manipulate her sleeping with us.
i have a friend next to a 2 year old who JUST NOW is starting to sleep in his own bed.
she LET him sleep beside them and so she put a tv in his room, now he sleeps within his bed. ?
If you take some common sense precautions, it is without a flaw safe. I did it with adjectives of my children. It does not increase the risk of SIDS, the only suffocation cases that I know of are when the mom was below the influence, and it doesn't automatically lead a child to bad sleeping customs.
Where some people on this board get their information, I really don't know! In some cultures, cosleeping is the norm. And it have been for hundreds of years.
no my sister and brother-in - law did that and my niece get the impression out and bumped her head
i ve heard copious stories of people rolling over on the baby
it is fruitless 4 your mariage and sexual relationship
it is not healthy for the child emotional growth
closely of people do it and regrate it bc it is a very dificult mannerism to break
Yes! I let all 3 of my babies sleep beside me and my hubby. I didn't lay them in between because I didn't want my husband to roll over them. Mothers tend to be more alert, because they have to verbs to wake up with the unknown born. My son is 2 mos and currently sleeping with me. I find it easier. But to each it's own. yes. she go in her cot at bedtime - 7.30. then usually she wake up around 3am, i give her a dummy and take into our bed. we sprawl facing eachother, with her in the middle ofe bed. i enjoy my arm round her so her head is on my arm. she is 10 mos
i love sleeping with her, i love her cuddles and she loves it too and she go into her own bed at nap time and bed time with no problems.
Tried it once,but bed be way to crowded.With daddy,baby & me adjectives in the bed,it was tough to get comfortable.So we decided child would be in his bed.We all sleep better that route.Sometimes me & baby will take a doze together during the day though.It isn't as crowded without daddy :) No!! Although you have an idea that that you lay still or that you wont roll over on your baby it happens!! Would you really want to pinch that chance?? Ive seen at Target where on earth you can by a protective "fencing" that the baby sleeps next to you but it would be surrounded by a balustrade to avoid any issues.
Yes, both of my sons co-slept until they preferred to sleep alone (both were over a year when this happened). I just prefer to own my babies where I know they're safe, and where on earth I can respond quickly to their needs.
Plus, it's a lifesaver while nursing!
Never at dark, but sometimes for naps if he's fighting sleep and won't dance down in his bed. Occasionally, I will lay down with him within my bed until he falls asleep and then I will move him to his crib in his room. It can be pretty unsafe. Adult mattresses can be too soft, suffacting the infant or you might roll over onto the infant. I kept my child right next to my bed in a bassinet for the first few months.
Yes, I do. He's almost 8 months and he have been in the bed beside me since birth.
EDIT - Please do some research. SIDS has been found surrounded by co-sleeping cases AS WELL AS it's been found in crib related death.
I did when he was feeding. He would start out contained by the bassinet. And by the morning, he was sleeping in bed near me. I know its a mixed bag when it comes to cosleeping. You should do whatever you have a feeling more comfortable with. NO! NEVER I had my babe-in-arms in a bassinet beside my bed but there's no reason your kid needs to sleep vvith you, its a bad need to try to break later on not to mention its one of the leading cause of SIDS!
yes i do my son is 2 and a half and he still sleeps with us but to be exact soon to change cause im expecting and due contained by a few months so he will be moved in his new bed back the baby comes Never! You can roll over and suffocate the baby accidentally. This sounds ridiculous but happen a lot!
my baby girl sleeps within her crib in our room...but when she wakes up surrounded by the early AM (5am) to nurse then yeah I put her within bed with me and she goes hindmost to sleep and I sometimes do too. Nope. Only on very rare occasion as a last resort. For the most part they slept within their bassinet or crib
Yes
He is 14 months.
He sleeps in his crib and my bed on the wall side.
no we do not...she sleeps in a bassinett within our room but not in our bed. No...she slept in bed next to me I think 2-3 times when she was a hot born but thats it...
