LO sleeping in our bed again...

Before the holidays our DD was in her crib. Well the holidays messed her all up bc she went to bed at different hours and we went out of town so she was in bed with me. Well our issue is the my DH will not sleep in bed if she's in it bc he's so scared he might roll on her - he is a very deep sleeper, doesn't even wake when she cries.

Last night he said he'd sleep with us that he thinks he'd be fine. He doesn't throw himself all over the bed, just sleeps deep. What do yall think? I rather just get her in her crib bc I think in the long run it would be best...but I love having her next to me. It's like I'm having to choose between them! My DH doesn't mind at all that she's in our bed but if he doesn't sleep with us I feel that's rude/wrong to do to him/us.

She's 6 1/2 months so I feel I can stop worrying about SIDS right? I think if she'd fuss/cry I'd for sure hear her, I do every night when she wakes still. I'm just lost on what to do!

Re: LO sleeping in our bed again...

  • Do you have any baby monitors!? My little one sleeps with me just because he is still waking up at night a lot but also because I love having him next to me. But I do understand it is hard because I'm your situation your husband is having to sleep else where. Maybe as your little one grows your husband will be more comfortable sleeping there. Good luck mama, and hopefully all works out! Keep us updated!

  • My LO was sleeping in his crib but since he started rolling over his tummy I ended up moving him back in bed with me. I do also worry about SIDS... My DH works graveyard M-F. But during the weekend DH sleeps in the living room lol we have a Queen size bed, we all fit but My DH is a crazy sleeper. :/ I feel bad sometimes. There's times he gets in bed with us..... But I know I need to put LO back in his crib soon
  • I think your husband's fears are legitimate. SIDS aside, a baby that gets rolled on can suffocate to death. It has happened. I'd opt for transitioning to the crib. I don't think your hubby is being rude. I think he's being incredibly understanding.
  • Oh I know he's not being rude...I mean I feel rude doing this to him/us...him not being able to sleep in our bed!
