@xuanang01 LC and mom of two toddlers here. Bedsharing with a breastfeeding mother using the sleep strategies you mentioned is incredibly safe. What’s not safe is a mom flying a helicopter on 3 hours of sleep. I coslept as a breastfeeding mom with my second daughter and can’t describe how much less miserable the first year was sleep-wise than it was with my first (where we used the bassinet, sleep trained, etc.) I never had any scary incidents, always felt very aware of her in bed, and we sleep very well next to each other. You could buy a cosleeper to set in the bed if that makes your sleep more comfortable. Get that sleep!
@imsavedbyjesus The dockatot and cosleeper are not safe to sleep with, and actually make bedsharing less safe. Other than that I agree with everything you said!
@imsavedbyjesus Right, but given that they’re not safe, it would be a mistake to encourage anyone to use them, and mom would be feeling more comfortable through a false sense of security.
