Bedsharing fears

glasgow_girl

We bedshare very occasionally, like if Ella wakes up and after a couple of attempts to put her back in the crib she'll still wake up, then I just bring her into our bed.

We bedshare safely, and keep the blankets and pillows away, but I have woken up the last few times we've had her in there with a fear in the pit of my stomach that something is wrong, and almost had to wake Ella up to make sure she is breathing because she has been lying so still.

Am I just being neurotic?  Does anyone else have these fears?  I used to get the same feeling on my way to pick her up from daycare, that something awful had happened, and my heart would just be racing by the time I got there.

I could have posted this exact post! We also bed share only in the wee hours of the morning when she will NOT go back to sleep in her crib(which is in our room).

Actually just this morning I brought her into bed around 5am, and woke up at 6am in a panic and ended up waking her up checking to make sure she was ok.
