It’s very unsafe. Do you really want to take the chance of accidentally smothering your child?
Everyone’s going to have different opinions, especially in motherhood. You’ll get hate either way so just do what makes you happy. As long as you’re a light sleeper & are comfortable having him next to you then it’s fine. You can also get a bassinet that you can have next to your bed so he isn’t that far as well!
I still co-sleep with my little darling and she’s 4 now! Best thing I ever did! Just make sure it’s safe for you, as some people smother their kids on accident 
Get a bassinet to put right by your bed
I co slept with my baby I was also very attached it worked out fine for me.
No I have a 4 year old who slept with us until 3.5 and now we have a 4 month old and see has slept with us since day one. I believe as a mama you make the best choice for you and your family. And if you get more sleep this way then go for it! Besides they are only little for such a short time. Soak it up !!!
Mine has slept with me for 10 years. I am single and she’s just so much my girl💛
I co slept both of mine. Its what worked for us. It took me about a month of my youngest in her own bed until I could sleep without her again xxx
I co slept with my 7 year old.
I currently co sleep with my 8 month old… and have since birth.
Everyone has opinions on this subject but to me it’s not worth the risk. If something happened & you new better already then I don’t think you’d deal well. Not worth it.
Its just so unsafe though
No you aren’t a bad mama,you are a loving mama. Enjoy
I co-slept with all 5 of mine. It worked for us and I loved every second of it with all of them.
I second the bassinet next to the bed! That’s where my son was until he was 2 months old. He was close enough i could roll over and check on him or easily grab him for feedings without having to get out of bed.
Second a bassinet right by your bed. You can get up and check on him but you’re both getting the sleep you need.
My 8 year old still sleeps with us. And my 10 month old does to.
It’s not safe or worth the risks
Also when kiddo is older too hard to get them to sleep on own
I coslept with my daughter till she was 8 and I cosleep with my 4.5 yr old as well…love it:heart_eyes: they are only young for a lil I don’t mind the sore back and kicks in the face 
There are safe ways to cosleep. Look it up. Do what you feel is right for your family mama. Mine slept on their own just fine when they were ready.
Cosleeping is not recommended bc it’s very unsafe for your baby. No excuse. Your baby’s safety must come first.
My daughter is 8 and been co sleeping since she was 8 months( only way she slept thru the night when she was a baby) now I sleep next to my fiancé and she’s in her bed but I still sleep better sleeping next to her than anyone else
A lot of people will have different opinions on it… I’m a FTM and I bedshared with my daughter from about 4 weeks old and I loved it!! She’s almost 2 now and I would still be doing it if I could only her daddy missed his own bed instead of his own spare bed 
No it’s not. It has such a bad rep and it’s very frustrating As a mother who coslept with my son until he was two. It should absolutely be normalized among breastfeeding mothers. I live in the Boston area (we have the best hospitals in the country) i gave birth at one of the best ones I’ll just say that and the nurses actually TAUGHT and encouraged me how to safely cosleep with my son in the hospital because i was breastfeeding around the clock. There are SAFE ways to cosleep, especially if you’re a light sleeper like i am. It was never once a safety issue for us and my son has always slept amazing because of it! However i didnt let his father sleep in bed with us ever because i knew he was a heavy sleeper. So it was just me & my baby in the kingsize bed 
his father’s a jerk and long gone so i dont feel bad not one bit haha. But yeah if you’re going to cosleep, i don’t recommend doing it with your husband. Also put a rail up on your bed.
I co sleep with my daughter didn’t start till she was 1 and was climbing out of her travel cot in the night to get into bed beside me! She’s nearly 7 now tho and won’t move into her own room x
I co slept with all my kids and my 8 yr old will still slide his bum into bed with me and his dad till this day. Do what’s best for you and your kid.
Your feelings are not more important than your baby’s safety. You are choosing to risk your child’s life every time you choose to bedshare. Get a bassinet right by your bed instead.
nope. not bad. do what’s right for you
You could roll over in your sleep onto your baby and not know it, please keep him in his crib. It’s better for him as well that he learns to have his space now. I’m dealing with a 34 yr old that won’t leave my house because I made this mistake.
You’re not the only one!!! Trust me mine slept in a bassinet for barely a night and he started spitting up milk on his back, my son has been in my bed ever since but please for the love of God don’t do it for a long time cause now my son is two and won’t sleep in his own bed!! & always be careful cause a tired mommy could easily suffocate baby not meaning to!! They have bedside cribs and bassinets!! Should try that option instead!!
I did the bassinet next to my bed with both of my boys. My fear with co sleeping is that I am a very restless sleeper and I didn’t want to risk it. According to most pediatricians co sleeping isn’t safe but ultimately my reasoning for my decision was the restlessness I have. What I did for additional bonding was skin to skin and extra cuddles.
Do what feels right for your family 
I have a 2 week old. He sleep right beside me in a bassinet. But around 4. He always cries. He isn’t hungry. I’ll change him and he sleeps with me for the next 2 or 3 hours before I get up and get everyone up and ready. (I have 3 older kids)
Then get a cosleeper like packnplay… this is what they’re for.
I co-slept my babies. The last one wanted to lay in her crib, so we didnt do it as much as I did with the other two.
My oldest is 7
Middles is 2
Youngest is almost 1
It’s obviously not advised too but it’s not considered “bad.”
My best friend co-sleeps with her son. I don’t co-sleep with my daughters. Myself & my fiancé are afraid of killing our children. I give props to the people who can do it. I would love if my babies slept with me tbh… i just mentally can’t do it. So my 8 week old sleeps in a bassinet next to me. My 3.5 year old sleeps in her own room. I say you need to eventually cut the cord when they’re older though. Unless you want a 10 year old sleeping in your bed with you.
He’s way to little
To co sleep, get a bassinet and put him right beside you!
Ask yourself if it would be worth the risk of him suffocating?
I have read and have even witnessed through a close friend bed sharing related deaths.
Do I think your a bad mom? No. But I do think there’s plenty of time to soak up that little love when they are awake or even asleep. I do not think you need to be sleeping with them.
It’s just a truly heartbreaking scenario and not worth it for me personally.
But no I don’t think you’re a bad mom
And I say this as someone who bed shared with my first. But learned and did not for my second and third
Check out Co-Sleeping & Attachment Parenting Support and learn about the safe sleep 7 to make sure you’re cosleeping as safely as possible
You do you girl. Mine are 3 and almost 5 and they still sleep with us sometimes. Who cares what anyone else thinks!
Not bad! There have actually been studies that “sleep training” a baby causes them a lot of stress. Soak up the preciousness mama
I say co-sleep away mama 
Biologically Normal Infant & Toddler Sleep
Totally normal babe. This page will help you feel less guilty. So supportive. You do what is best for you, follow the safe 7 and soak up every moment 
I have to sleep with my babies. It is the only way I can sleep.
They make bassinets that attach to your bed it’s like a three-sided thing that hooks to your frame my cousin got one because she couldn’t do no co-sleep thing
I’ve always co slept. Mainly my last baby because she was breastfed and it was easier and I knew she was my last my baby so I wanted all of the snuggles, I knew i would miss it.
Your baby is not there to make you feel safe. Ridiculous!
When my son was little we co slept he’s almost 2 and now he sleeps and we hang on to the edge of our bed for dear life 
Girl. My son will be 2 next month and I can’t sleep without him:woman_facepalming: and he can’t sleep without me so I guess it’s a win win. Unless you sleep every night with your child little arms wrapped around you hugging you then you wouldn’t get it:100: I’ve slept with him since the day he came home from the hospital because I was afraid I wouldn’t hear him cry or he’d stop breathing and I wouldn’t know. But now it’s more of a comfort for us both and I honestly don’t care about others opinions:woman_shrugging:
I co slept with my baby boy who is almost 11. Slept with him in my arms. He. Still. Wants. To. Sleep. With. Me!
And I love it, honestly…
Sleep with your baby… I always did. 
I co-slept but not that early. However my best friend lost her newborn granddaughter due to daughter co-sleeping with the baby. I don’t think her daughter ever really got over it. You need to look at all aspects of co-sleeping.
I slept with all 3 of my babies:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:, My youngest is 10 months & is still in our bed & I wouldn’t have it any other way:heart:, his cot is right beside our bed soaking up every moment ignore the judgemental comments , Mama knows best! enjoy your baby
Cosleeping comes with a risk of suffocation/positional asphyxiation, not to be confused with sids which is not preventable and can happen even if you follow safe sleep, I know this first hand as it happened to us with our second son when we did follow safe sleep. We coslept with our first when we were uneducated but did absolutely everything to avoid it with our 3rd (rainbow baby) as it was not worth the risk of losing him.
The final decision ultimately comes down to you because you aren’t going to stop doing something that you want to do, but please look up positional asphyxiation and educate yourself at least before making the final call. Everything may be fine cosleeping but there is still a small chance it won’t be, ultimately you need to decide if that’s worth the risk for you. But no, it wouldn’t make you a bad mum to make an informed decision, it is your baby after all. Just maybe something you may not have heard of before from the perspective of a mum who lost her son and would hate to see someone else lose their baby.
You’ll always get comments of people who did it with their baby and their child is fine, but babies are always fine until they aren’t and there’s no way of being certain it won’t happen to your baby.
We perosnlly used a next to me with our rainbow and it helped with wanting to be close to him to see his chest move and feel his breathing but without him physically being on us/in with us so I can’t recommend that type of crib enough and they’re much bigger than the moses baskets so don’t get outgrown as fast
If cosleeping helps both of you sleep do it! I did it with both my kids!
I’ve coslept with my kiddos♥️ I understand!
I didn’t start co sleeping until my daughter out grew her bassinet around 4 months or so. I breastfed and worked full time so I just put her in bed with me so I didn’t have to get up in the middle of the night. She will be 3 in January and still sleeps with me.
I co-slept with all 3 of mine
He’s your baby, do what feels right to you. Obviously you have great instincts and a light sleeper. Some people have really good awareness. I didn’t sleep with my daughter too much as a baby but as she got older she did. She’s 15 and she will still sleep next to me on the couch. It really depends on you. Don’t worry about what others think.
Whatever makes u happy just do it safely. I personally could never co sleep i always felt like my bed was my space. Id even kick my s/o out the bed if I could. I don’t like be touched by anything when I’m in bed
They have these cosleeper things that attach to the side of your bed. All 3 of my kids slept with me and my youngest still does he turns 2 next month
Co-sleeping is the best. As long as you’re not drunk or on drugs, it’s safe. The most natural thing ever. Only is the US is it considered unsafe. Do what’s best for you and your baby. I’ve had 4 babies, and I have 7 grand babies and not one has EVER slept in a crib.
I had a next to me crib which was lush gave baby his own space while still right there next to me it’s also a bit bigger than a basket so he slept with me for ages lol
Co sleep - get the cot that goes beside the bed for co
Sleeping. I co slept with all 4 of mine
I have coslept with my 3 year old since she came home from the NICU at 21 days old
Do it safely - don’t drink or anything with a baby in the bed. Watch doonas
Etc for suffocation risks. The bed side cots are perfect where you can cuddle to sleep then place them there and still be beside them -
Sleep with your baby. Don’t ever let other people make you feel guilty or less than a good mother for doing what’s best for you and baby.
My son slept with me until he was 4. My youngest slept with me till I got engaged, she was 5. Sleep with your baby if that’s what makes both of you happy
These are great! You don’t have to worry about him falling out of your arms or rolling onto him. They also make ones that are more portable, you can put him between you and dad.
Dream On Me Skylar Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper, Grey Amazon.com
I co slept with every one of my kids and 4 of my 6 grandkids. You do what you feel is right. He’s your child not anyone else’s. Like someone else said as long as you’re not drinking and drugging you should be fine. Also make sure there’s no space where he can get stuck down in like between the mattress and frame or headboard. No soft pillows that can smother him. This is just common sense precautions.
Awe
That’s beautiful! I co-slept with all 7 of my babies
You should talk to your doctor about post partum anxiety/depression. Co sleeping is the most dangerous thing you could do.
This sound alike you may need to speak to your doctor. PPD/PPA is a real thing.
I slept with all my kids … It is so much easier of you are breastfeeding too … Enjoy your baby and do what you feel is right
Experts are always telling us what to do with our babies. The advice changes every year it seems. According to todays advice I did everything wrong…they are now 28 & 39 years old so I must have done something right i guess
Do whatever your mothering instincts tell you is right for your baby.
Sleep with your baby!!!
I slept with mine. My daughter used to come at 16 years old. I would side to the middle between her and her daddy. We would talk till we fell asleep.
Be prepared I co slept with my youngest daughter 13 years later she has just got out of my bed.
I did and still do and my son is 4 and a half. Just make sure you are never overly tired when you do. I feel the same way about not wanting to seperate. I have anxiety and I think I have passed it onto him as well. I take prozac and it helps. They grow up fast so I get it!
You do whatever you want.
I couldn’t get over the accidental smothering so I never did.
You are a GOOD mom!!! You make whatever choices that are best for your family. What you are feeling is normal. Co sleeping is safe if done correctly. Best wishes and congratulations on the birth of your son!
Get a bassinet. Or put the crib in your room…
I co slept with all 3 of my children… my youngest and I still co sleep together… he is 5. I’ve always been a very light sleeper so I’ve never had issues. Co sleeping isn’t for everyone… but if you want to do it maybe try using the crib that attaches next to the bed… so you can still hold him and reach fir him but he has his own space as well.
I put the crib in the corner and took one rail off it. We adjusted the bed height to be level with the crib and pushed the bed against it so it was basically an addition to my bed. When my kid went down I would place them in the crib. It helped with my anxiety and allowed me to not worry about their father rolling on them. He slept like a log.
I don’t think you’re a bad Mom at all. I agree with your hubby if you’re comfortable co sleeping then sleep away. 
After a few monthsmaybe you will feel different and put him in his own nest. But for now you can’t put a price on sanity.
Do what you want it’s your baby
I co slept with all 3 of my kids. My daughter will still sleep with me and she is 10. 
Makes “you feel safe” honey I think you might want to go see a doctor seems you might have some other things going on.
Im the same with my little man, i have a bassinet co sleeper. Best money i have ever spent
I co slept with all my babies you can safely co sleep! Get yourself a doc a tot.
My daughter co slept from birth and still does at almost 5
Hi 
mum of 3, co slept with 2/3 as you can see by my grumpy face I still cosleep, don’t let the grumpy have fool you into thinking I don’t enjoy it cause I do, she was beating me up before this pic hence the grumpy face. Look up lullaby trust for the safe sleeping dos and don’t’s, if you choose to co sleep by fallowing then guidelines it’s been proven in a new study to reduce the risk of SID.
Co sleeping is a terrible habit to break! I was against it for the longest time, never co slept with my son as an infant,he’s now 11…. However— I started over, I had a little girl in december… I never co slept in our bed, but with my little one, in the middle of the night during her feedings or when she had a rough night, we slept on the couch together. She’s now 9 months, and still having a hard time breaking it. But at the same time, she’s my last one too and i know I’ll miss this. So do what makes you happy Momma! In the blink of an eye they’ll be big!
Get a bassinet and put it next to ur bed
A friend of mine lost a baby at 3 mo to smothering, it’s a chance I personally would never risk.
I co sleep with my 16 month and have since she was born the doctor’s all knew that as well. All they told me was its okay to co sleep but to try to have start in her crib never would sleep in her crib but will in her toddler bed bur ends up in my bed by 12 or 1 am
Still co-sleeping with my babies who are almost 4 and 6. As long as it’s safe, you do you!
You’re not a bad mother at all but sound like you need some therapy for your depression
