He asked how my little one was sleeping. I was honest and said he nurses all night. I mentioned that he’s in our shared bed now. He said, “Oh no!” My stomach dropped. Then he told us, “Just as long as he’s out of your bed by high school.” 💀😂 Mind you, my little one is 15 months. We’ve been...

for those of you who bedshare, do you tell the pediatrician or just lie/omit that info? at LO’s last checkup (at 6mo) the Ped asked, as she always does, in kind of a stern way, if baby sleeps “alone in her own crib, on a firm mattress.” we started bedsharing at 4 months after struggling with the...

That’s where I’m at right now. I have 4 kids, and my fourth 9 months old right now. Recently, every 20 minutes or so he just yells out and wakes up. Eventually around 1 or 2 am he just wakes up entirely just playing. I’ve had his ears checked and they’re clear, no infection. I honestly can’t...

I couldn't find a similar thread here so I wanted to start gathering some ideas for how my spouse and I can make time to connect both emotionally and physically while I still cosleep with my son. Right now I try to put my LO down early to try to have some evening time to myself but it seems like...

I was super against bed sharing, until I realized it’s the only way I’m not completely sleep deprived. I was so safe sleep I was shoving it down my husbands throat now he’s worried about bed sharing lol. We’ve been co sleeping so her pack n play next to the bed since she was born, she’s now 3...

Pre baby the snoring didn’t bother me bc I’d wear earplugs. It’s probably really unsafe to wear earplugs while sharing a bed with an infant, right?

Specifically for moms in the US! I usually have to fill out paperwork that asks how many wakes during the night the baby has. Last time at his 3 month appointment I wrote down 3-4 wakes and the nurse asked about it, seemed taken aback. I said just for feeds and then he’s right back down. They...

Hello! ♡ I’m a FTM to a 4mo and I could use some advice and wisdom when it comes to bed-sharing from your own experience and research. During pregnancy, like many other mothers, I was adamantly against bed-sharing. I thought about how risky it was and how I wanted to reserve my bed for my...

Does anyone sleep with their baby in the cuddle curl position but sit up or take them to a chair to feed?? My little guy is 4 weeks old and we’ve been sleeping in c-curl for 3ish weeks now and he’s doing so great. Weight gain is perfect. But sometimes I feel like he doesn’t get a full feeding...
