Sleep with him as much as you can. By six months you’ll kick him out of your bed because he will take it over lol love it while you can
Its all about culture… If your culture typically any Indigenous person of this turtle island… We slept with our babies… Never once did i hear of a smothered baby… But then again… In cultures where the Didnt even acknowledge their babies… Truth be told… They be smothering babies generations later… Generational trauma i will suspect… But i may be over stepping my ground here… But this is just my own opinion… Not too many people like tho.
My four slept with me. I babysit my grandchildren and they nap with me. I think it’s un-natural not to🤷🏻♀️
All three of my kids slept with me until they were 2-3.
They also make attachments for the bed so the baby is co sleeping but safe in an attachment
It is 100% your decision. You do what works best for you and your baby.
I co slept with both my boys and I’ve not a single regret!! Granted they were both in third grade still having sleep overs time to time lol This is a personal choice!
Nether of my girls ever went in a bassinet or crib I co slept with them both. I tried putting them in a bassinet but it got to the point I gave up Bc they wouldn’t sleep with out me
I have and do co sleep with all my babies. They take naps in their room but normally come lay with me. If you ever are worried they have those attached co sleepers for the bed so you can snuggle and breastfeed with some extra space
Girl he is 2 weeks old. Co sleep all
You want
I co sleep with my 2 year old & I wouldn’t have it any other way. 
Maybe try one of those bassinets that attach to the bed? The thing with positional asphyxiation,you won’t hear it, you can’t even really see it.
Co slept with all 3 of mine , it’s what was best for us , it’s what worked for us
You could always get a co sleeping bassinet of some sorts!!
Lots of people co-sleep.
I want to sleep with my daughter but I’m scared 
There are safe ways to co-sleep with a baby. But having him in your arms is NOT it. Baby’s safety comes first, surely? If you can’t be without him… imagine if you had to grief his death.
Invest in a side-sleeper crib…they attach to your bed so bub has his own space but is still only arm’s reach away.
When co-sleeping, also follow these rules:
Don’t drink, smoke or take any medication. If any of these apply to you, don’t co-sleep.
Don’t use blankets on baby - keep all adult pillows, blankets, cushions etc away from baby.
Have baby on the outside of the bed, never in the middle and never between two people, other children or pets.
Always lie baby on his back.
Move the bed away from the wall - so baby can’t get stuck between wall and bed.
Maybe move mattress to the floor - less distance for falls.
Don’t co-sleep when you’re overtired, stressed, under influence of ANY substances (including regular medications you take; painkillers etc. - I can’t stress this enough).
More tips listed via the link. If you don’t think you can follow these guidelines… crib it is, please. And if you suffer such severe separation anxiety from bub, maybe talk to your GP. Postnatal anxiety is not as much talked about, but it’s just as common and debilitating as PND. Please take care. 
Pediatric nurse here, please put him in the crib. It is so unsafe to cosleep with him. Move the crib next to the bed so you are close but not in the bed. You will never forgive yourself if something happens….which is still happening too often in this world.

They have bed side bassinets and co sleeper lounges to help them be safer with you. I co slept with me kids until they wanted there own bed. 4 with bvb the first 2.5 with the Second!
I’ve coslept for 8 months now, it’s been instinctual for me. I had panic attacks trying to put my baby in a bassinet and my newborn at the time hated it too. Also, I breastfeed so it was way easier too cosleep as well. I love waking up to my daughter and she sleeps straight through the night next to me. It works for us

It’s the most natural thing in the world and has been done for centuries. The only time I would not recommend it is if you are medicated or intoxicated to a degree that would make it dangerous, but otherwise it’s perfectly natural. All my kids co-slept despite a big push against it when they were babies. Just do what feels natural to you 
We got an in bed co sleeper bassinet. That way there was no fear of rolling out of bed or fear of one of us rolling on her. She’s been co sleeping with us since she came home. I DO plan on trying to no co sleep with our next one, our bed just doesn’t have the space. We have a next to bed bassinet and crib right across the hall. I 100% get the anxiety. Do what makes you comfortable, just make sure it’s safe.

There is crib that you can attach to the bed to keep the baby safe and you can still have accessibility to him or her

I co-slept with all my kids. My youngest is almost 7 and is in my bed 5 out of 7 nights. My oldest is 16, and still sleeps in my bed! I know they say not too, but I did. Just know that you will never get a night in your bed with just you and your husband ever again!

I work in an ER. A few weeks ago a 4wk old was brought in pulseless. Apparently mom fell asleep and rolled on top of baby. The baby didn’t make it 
I co slept with my kids as well, they are teenagers now. But seeing that situation in the hospital changed that….

Do it! it won’t last forever!
I worked in an ER for 2 years. I’ll never cosleep from seeing the accidents that happened from bed sharing. Completely sober, good parents losing their babies was awful, a scream that’ll shake you to your bones.

Oh mamma cosleeping is totally natural and done all over the world! Whole families sleep together in one bed in many countries. It’s just western society that deems cosleeping bad. Be smart, be responsible and there it can be done 100% just fine. I’ve coslept with all 3 of my babies and will be doing so with my soon to be 4th.
Love up that baby and don’t feel guilty.

I have 2 kids. I bedshared with my oldest until she was 11 months (she’s 3 now)
I currently bedshare with my 8 month old. I love it. It’s biologically normal to want to be close to your baby. It can be done safely.

This is in no way making you a bad momma!
I coslept with my first.
He’s your last baby, soak up those snuggles.
But some of what you’re explaining sounds like PPA
I know I had it my first and had PPD & PPA with my second.
I’m not saying that’s what it is, but it never hurts to talk with someone about it.

You are not a bad mom at all but I would put baby in a bassinet beside the bed so you can still see and touch baby the only thing with being that young I personally would worry about sids or the baby head not being supported properly while I slept but that is just me I was extremely paranoid about certain things but everyone has there own way of parenting

Cosleeping is absolutely fine if it works for you then great don’t listen to others who tell you it isn’t safe because if done correctly it is safe. I have coslept with my daughter since she was born & I love it x
I say co sleep if you want and are comfortable. My bf and I don’t make it a regular thing with either of our kids bc it interrupts mommy and daddy time. But if they’re having a rough night we bring them in. My son slept in his crib next to my bed mostly. Until he was 2. Then he moved to his own room. My daughter is in the play pen next to my bed and she naps in the crib in her brothers room. In the next few months she will make her way into the room with her brother. But you do what’s best for you and baby!
Some things your saying is making me worried that you’ll be experiencing seperation aniexty if you cling too much to him. I love co sleeping but its so unsafe and its scary. I feel like it’s a game of russian roulette. I co slept cause Im exhausted after 6pm and useless, so just didn’t have it in me to get them used to their crib when theyre fighting me, plus I loved it… but I also found it scary. Id wake up, and I’d be waiting to hear babies breath to make sure they were okay lol… then Id cuddle them and admire their cuteness lol

I had one baby. A girl. I thought yeah she’s going to sleep in crib. Uh no. She was a preemie and when I got to take her home when she was 3 weeks old from the NICU she slept in my bed and never left. At first I had a bassinet inside of the bed. Then when she was bigger she slept without it. She’s almost 2 and a half now, still sleeps with me. She’s perfectly fine. We both love it
As long as the baby is safe you do what’s best for you and your family
I co sleep with my 3.5 year old and 6 week old. Love every minute of it but I do have a owlet on her so I feel like she’s pretty safe in bed with us
That does not make you a bad mom! I personally did not co sleep until my boys were a couple months old. I had a fear of accidentally smuggling them or SIDS. To each their own!
I co-sleep with my last baby too, I absolutely had to have him with me too, my husband didn’t mind sleeping with him when he was home but now he’s 2 and it’s hard for us to just be intimate alone now but I wouldn’t change the time I get with my last baby for a second. LOL
I’ve co slept since day one with both my kids. My oldest is almost 3 and still sleeps with me. One day they will grow up and want to sleep alone😢
The first time I put my son in his crib to sleep, I woke up to him in bed with me later on that night. He was only a week old, so I know he didn’t put himself in bed with me and it was just me and him. I must’ve woken up and got him and just forgot, but I decided I would rather just go to sleep with him in my bed already instead of risking not being completely awake and dropping him or rolling over on him because I thought he wasn’t in bed with me.
I co slept with both mine. I have separation anxiety as well. The only bad thing is my little one is now one and won’t even nap long without me holding her lol

I coslept with my daughter but i had her crib right up against the side of my bed for the nights i felt too exhausted and didnt wanna risk anything. Worked good for us! Shes 3 and still sleeps a couple hours a night in our bed She loves smuggling and me and my husband love it too
I co slept with my last (number 4) when he was a newborn. Hubby does FIFO work and now I’m struggling to get him into his own bed at night. He is now 17 mths old. I still love it but do struggle as he is getting bigger.
Hunny I co slept with my son till he was 10 months old!! It’s what worked beat for us. Once he started taking up to much space and kicking then we switch him. You do you, just remember every one and every baby is different. You do what makes both of you comfortable.
I co sleep since the day he was born. It’s not frowned upon in my country. I was never sleep deprived since my son is a newborn.
My last is 2 in 12 days and I still cosleep with her . No one can tell me it’s no ok shes my baby and it’s what fits our life. You do what you feel is best and makes you happy your hubby is right
I’ve co slept with my daughter since she was a few weeks old and I love it, we both slept so much better. To keep her safe I just got a diaper changing Matt with the raised sides and put her between my husband and I, so she couldn’t roll around and it was a firm surface and it kept us from accidentally rolling on her, then once she outgrew it she just slept in the bed. She’s three now and sleeps in her own room perfectly fine but still sleeps with us for convince sometimes.
The first 4 weeks I slept in the recliner with my baby because she wouldn’t sleep alone and I was afraid to sleep in the bed with her. I used the owlet sock and eventually I realized that I needed more sleep so I put her in the bed and honestly it is the best sleep I have had. She is 2 and still sleeps with us. My husband and I talked about transitioning her but honestly we really don’t care. I am pregnant with our second one and we will co sleep with the new baby too. Honestly you do you and what works for you and your baby. You know what’s best. My daughter’s pediatrician said that “it is up to us and what we choose when it comes to sleeping.”
I Co slept with both of my boys because I was EBF and it was just the best way to get sleep, being able to feed and sleep at the same time. But if you’re concerned about safety, I’d try a bedside bassinet. It adjusts to the height of your bed and anchors in place to the opposite side of your mattress.
Hubby n I co sleep with my son whos 13months
We both can’t sleep if his not next to us nor can he sleep without us
Works for us
Your are absolutely not a bad mom. You do what works for you and your baby. It makes you and your baby happy? That’s all that matters.
Embrace it babe, I co slept with my baby she is 6 and I couldn’t imagine not waking up next to her every morning🖤
I slept with all my babies. And our pediatrician said it was fine. I’m a light sleeper as well. I don’t feel like a bad mom because I slept with all my babies.
Do him the same as you did your daughter. But their are times its ok just not every night . Put his grip in your room that will work. There will be times you can snuggle with him and your daughter you don’t want to accidentally create a jealous between the siblings. When you snuggle with him snuggle with her as well. Let be used to sleeping by himself and with you .You don’t want him in the habit of not wanting to sleep by himself.
I have 4 kids. Ages 15,9,5, and 2. All of them slept with me😊 my 2 year old still does. Do what makes you happy momma. As long as baby is ok.
I was only able sleep with my daughter. Once we started it we both slept so much better. It also made nursing easier.
Honey first of all…theres no such thing as being “overly attached” to your child. Second, if co sleeping is working for you and your child, then co sleep.
As long as you’re safe, both comfy, happy and getting sleep you’re fine! I’ve co slept with my daughter for nearly 2 years! X
I also would cosleep with my kids I just had another baby 10 years later and I won’t I am just too scared I joined a safe sleep and baby care group i learned so many things but thats just me
My Mama told me to put our daughter in her crib as soon as we brought her home so she would adjust right away. My husband would bring her to nurse, change her diaper and cuddle on our sofa or recliner until l recovered from an emergency C-section with complications. I found them sound asleep so often that l moved the baby monitor into our den. She slept great in her crib and co-slept with Daddy often too. Our son was 10lbs at birth and loved to stretch out. After his first shots at six weeks he slept through the night in his crib.
Your the mom you decide what works for you. I never did it. Too afraid something would happen. Maybe put the crib in your room? My daughter did it with both her girls. They are 3 and 4 now. They won’t sleep in their own beds now.
My son just turned two and I have coslept with him sense he came home from the hospital 
Mine have always ended up in my bed i even invested in a next to me cot for my one year old and he still ended up in my bed now my 6 week old is doing the same
And co-slept with my three children and they sleep in their own beds with no problem
just dont be surprised when your 3 year old ends up in your bed too lmao she may be a lil jealous
My babies all 4 slept with me… Up until a certain age. Do what’s best for you
I would try a bassenette right next to your bed at nights that you at you and you husband has time to. But honestly there is nothing wrong with co sleeping sooner or later the baby grows up and wants his own space then so suck it up when you can
I co-slept with all 4 of mine, they were all fine. My 2yo crawled in bed with us about 4 this morning…by 6am my 5yo was also in our bed also🤷
I am the same way with my daughter who is now 1 and I seriously can’t sleep with out her !
I have 5 and all of them slept with my hubby and I… I got 2 in my bed now which is my 1 year old and my 7 month old… And somehow my 7 or 6 year old slips in at the end of the bed some nights.
If yall co sleep in a family bed. How are there more children? Is co sleeping a generational thing? It was a big no no when I was growing up and also when I was raising children. I was surprised at all the responses!
Just be careful. I coslept with my baby until he was 8 
I co slept with all 4 of mine. I don’t take sleeping pills or drink plus I’m a super light sleeper. If you feel comfortable and they are safe with you I see no problem.
I co slept the whole time, my daughter is 3 and now transitioning to her bed. There only small once!!
No at all. I co-slept with my little until she was 7 months old.
Cuddle while you still can. My daughter started drifting away when she was 1 1/2 so get as much snuggles as you can
Enjoy him they grow too fast
I have always coslept and I probably always will. Had I not I probably would have died from exhaustion. That’s not a joke in any way.
my 5 yr old still sleeps with me 
Not cosleeping really is more of an American thing that was started by men’s narratives. You can follow safe sleep and also cosleep. The majority of the world co sleeps.
I am vosleeping with my 1 and 2 year old… do u mama… they only this small once
He’s your baby. Sleep with him. Comfort for you both.
I coalept with my daughter until 9months. You do you mama
I did cosleeping up until my son was 4months i just have him in a pack n play next to my bed you only know what’s best for your baby 
Putting my daughter in an in bed bassinet made me feel a lot better so I wouldn’t roll over on her
We co slept with my daughter since she was born and she’s 8 months now
I Co-slept with all 4 of my babies till they were about a year old. Do you, momma.
I have co-slept since day one and my daughter just turned 2.

You do what works for you. There is no right or wrong answer
I have Co slept with all three of mine.

Try a bassinet next to the bed see if that helps.
She just needs to enjoy her child, everyone she asks will give a different opinion. She has no idea how everything changes as they become adults. Enjoy the time when you are needed
