Cosleeping Issue

My son has a new thing where he lays flat on his back, but turns his head to snuggle into me, and his face is flat against my chest. He has been doing this during naps, which doesn't worry me, but is now doing it at night, which makes me very nervous. 

Does anyone have a face snuggler? Is it dangerous? If so, how do I stop him from doing this?

Re: Cosleeping Issue

  • Both my kids slept/sleep on their sides with their face smushed against my boobs.  So far, no damage done.  I figure if they can scoot themselves over there or roll to get there, then they can move their head if needed too.

  • My lo would do this when she was younger I'm pretty sure its not dangerous. If it bothers you scoot away a bit when you know he's asleep.

  • Early on, I was probably pretty aware of my positioning, but you'll find positions that work for both of you. DS and I still have a favorite snuggle position!
