    Feeding question

    How to you switch breasts at night with cosleeping and feeding? Does everyone just have a ā€œnight timeā€ boob? šŸ˜‚ my LO sleeps on my left side so I would feed her in side lying in the L, but I donā€™t feel comfortable switching our positions because my partner is also in the bed and that would put...

    Husband wants to stop cosleeping and let baby CIO

    Our baby has had a tough time sleeping since she exited the womb nine months ago (8mo corrected age). I finally got her into a good nap schedule last month. On a good day, her schedule is approximately 2.75/3/3.5 with two naps ranging from 1 hr to 1.5 hr (between 2-3 hrs of daytime rest). Her...

    Infant sleep

    Hi all, I am a mum of a 4 month old and have been bed sharing for a month and a half. We have a queen bed that is on the ground, I do have my own pillow and blanket and have that wrapped fully around me. My baby doesn't really move right now, like no rolling at night yet so haven't really been...

    Celebration! šŸŽ‰

    TLDR: My contact-napping, bedsharing 5-month-old got 5+ hours of independent sleep on his floor bed, no sleep training needed! It's 1 a.m. and there is no one else up to share my excitement, so I figured I would post it here. Hopefully someone will find it encouraging! We parent with a mix of...

    Calling all Velcro baby mamas

    My baby hasnā€™t been able to sleep in a bassinet or crib since he was born. I have contact napped and coslept for 4 months. For the first three, I could just put him to sleep at 8 or 9 pm either by nursing or rocking on a yoga ball. I did this in our living room and would hang out on the couch...

    Decreasing number of night feeds while cosleeping

    Hi! My baby is 6 months and weā€™ve been cosleeping on and off since she was a few weeks old but consistently for the past two months. From 3-4 months she did fairly well in her bassinet next to the bed, eating 0-2 times between 10 and 6 the average night. Since sheā€™s been back in bed with me...

    Do you tell your pediatrician youā€™re bedsharing ?

    We came back from our two-month appointment earlier today and everytime we go see our pediatrician, we get asked if our daughter is still sleeping on her back, in her own crib ( which she did for a total of 2 nights since birth lol)ā€¦ To which, I completely fucking lie and say ā€œyesā€ while my...

    Safely co sleeping

    I just started co sleeping with my 7.5 month old. I have literally tried all sleep training none work and I have no support. She can easily roll back and forth and pick herself up. The issue we are having is that she moves closer to be next to me or my husband and Iā€™m scared of us not knowing...

    Cosleeping as a tool for handling sleep regression?

    My baby is 4.5 months and the sleep regression is killing me. I do all night wake ups and care for him during the day while my husband is at work. We have no family around us and he only naps for 30-40 minutes so I canā€™t nap when he does. The sleep deprivation is almost worse than it was when he...

    Iā€™m a FTM and my LO is 3.5 months now. I started co sleeping with him when he was around 3 months and we both sleep so incredibly well now (he was a terrible sleeper before)!

    Overeating if not bed sharing

    Reworded post: Iā€™m curious to know if anyone else experienced similar. Between 6 & 7 m.o., my (now almost 8 m.o.) LO demonstrated intense separation anxiety and we started bed sharing. After this, she magically started sleeping through the night (we were told this typically happens around 6...

    We canā€™t bed share because my baby is formula fed? Explain

    A few nights ago my 8 week year old and I started bedsharing because he wouldnā€™t sleep unless being held which means I wasnā€™t sleeping at all. Additional info on that down below. So it was either: accidentally fall asleep with him in my arms on the couch / rocking chair, or intentionally bed...

    4.5 month old irritable/fussing in sleep

    My once great sleeper seems to be in full sleep regression. From very early on he only woke two or three times in the night to nurse. At about 15 weeks he started wanting to nurse about once every 2 hours throughout the night. He wouldnā€™t cry, just do his standard grunting/rooting routine to let...

    Please convince me to cosleep

    UPDATE: I bought an Owlet and a box fan (our bedroom doesnā€™t have a ceiling fan) and we coslept last night. Yā€™ALLā€¦. Iā€™m NEVER going back. Last night was the best night of my life. Just getting to kiss my babyā€™s little ravioli hands throughout the night, staring at her chubby face as she slept...
