co-sleeping

ISO very firm twin mattress to sidecar for my 10 month old. We have been cosleeping since birth, and we just need a bit more room since he’s become mobile. I plan on putting the twin pushed right up between the wall on one side and our queen bed on the other. It will be a few inches shorter...

I don’t know what to do. Nothing works to keep my baby asleep except in my arms. My back is killing me, my arms are killing me. We have tried every tip and trick I can find on the internet and in these subreddits. Falling asleep is the easy part, he just won’t stay that way. He keeps waking up...

I’ve been co sleeping& c curling with my LO for the past 9 weeks (she’s 12w) it started from her being so over stimulated from Christmas that she didn’t sleep for almost 20 hours and would only sleep on me, she loved her crib but I’ve created a very cute little monster (although I must admit I...

My baby has recently started sleeping on her stomach. We are looking for a firmer mattress to safely cosleep since our current one is a medium firm and it sinks in a little. Anyone use HAUGESUND mattress from IKEA and can confirm firmness/safe for cosleeping...

I cosleep with my 9 month old breastfed baby. When we first started cosleeping it was a lifesaver, she would sleep 6+ hours at night without waking up. It was almost concerning. Over time she has started waking up more and more, usually 6+ times a night. This week, however, she has been waking...

How to you switch breasts at night with cosleeping and feeding? Does everyone just have a “night time” boob? 😂 my LO sleeps on my left side so I would feed her in side lying in the L, but I don’t feel comfortable switching our positions because my partner is also in the bed and that would put...

After 8 years, the creator of r/cosleeping has decided to step down as moderator to pursue other interests. Please welcome our new mod team! @dbirdez is Head Moderator. She has a MSW and is currently bedsharing with her 14-month-old son. @onthepathtogod is also bedsharing with her...

Edit: You can be sad and heartbroken for the babies who are sleep trained AND place no judgment on the parents who are trying their best to survive like we all are. BOTH can be true. Thank you postpartum therapy 🫠 I know everyone is doing what's best for them, and in the U.S. at least, we make...

After being deep in decision paralysis trying to buy a mattress for sleeping on the floor with baby, I’m this close to making a purchase. Thought I’d lay out the choices I found in case it helps anyone else make a purchase—and maybe you can help me make the final call. Told my husband I’d sleep...

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...

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...

Looking for your tried & true recommendations on a good mattress for a play yard/pack n play!? (I know this sub will have the best advice!!) This would be for overnight sleep, so I’d like it to be more quiet if possible. Prefer to pay under $50 CAD for it. Found this one on Babies R Us, but...

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...

My 9 week old likes to be cuddle up close to me. It’s getting warmer where we live and our room tends to be hotter than the rest of the house at night. I have our AC set to 73 degrees F, how should I dress my baby at night?? A short sleeve legless bodysuit? A zip up onesie with arms and legs...

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?

My baby hasn’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...

No one warns you that you and your toddler will accidentally build a positive sleep-association to each other and every time you have a little cuddle on the bed or the couch, your toddler will nod off and take naps at the wrong time. And then you will have to fight your own eyelids from closing...

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...

Hi all! I've posted several times in r/sleeptrain and r/beyondthebump and haven't received much help. I have an 8 month old baby who we are at our wits end trying to get to sleep. She is ebf and will take a bottle. She's teething but has no teeth yet. She is not crawling yet. She wakes up at...

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...
