Anyone else found themselves co-sleeping with their baby?
I didn’t co-sleep with Josh or Noah. I was so strict with routines back then - there’s a 12-year age gap, after all! - but Aurora is happiest snoozing in my arms. She’s even down to one night feed now… as you can see from my exploding right b🍈🍈b 😂
How do you personally keep co-sleeping safe? Do you do it all night or just a little? Sometimes she will sleep half in her side sleeper then fret a little and it’s into mummy’s arms…sometimes it’s the whole night. We’re having morning snuggles here, but I usually make sure Aurora is on the mattress, away from pillows and bedding.
Online official advice says that if bed-sharing, follow safer sleep guidance:
• Never share a sofa or armchair with your baby.
• Don’t bed-share if anyone smokes, has had alcohol or drugs, or taken medication that causes drowsiness.
• Don’t bed-share if your baby was born prematurely or had a low birth weight.
• Keep baby on their back, on a firm, flat mattress, with pillows and adult bedding well away.
• Make sure baby can’t get trapped, wedged or fall out; keep other children and pets out of the bed.
After five losses, I cant help but want to hold this little gem a little longer… never wanting to miss a second 🤍
