Bedsharing is bad.

CandaceLeigh · March 2013

Do you know why? Because you'll like it. Snuggling up to a sweet, sleeping babe, you'll kiss the top of their head and become intoxicated by that amazing baby smell. Then you need to do it again at naptime and then again at bedtime. Then you're doing it like three and four times a day. BAM! You're addicted. The next thing you know, you're a "creepy mom" on the cover of Time Magazine because you still bedshare and your kid is about to start high school. It's a lose-lose situation.

Haha. It's a slippery slope. It sounds like heaven to me. I would love to snuggle up but this terrifies me. I just don't think it's safe.

Sooo true, I love the snuggles, but so far I've been good. Prob only because of the co sleeper though. I still get my space and I can reach out n touch him or kiss him if I want to

LO has slept in his crib from the beginning. However, we had a really rough night a few weeks ago, so when he cried for his 6AM feeding DH brought him to our bed to try a side-laying bf. That 3 hour morning "nap" was the best sleep I had gotten all night! I didn't want to bed share, but now I can't stop..

We are bedsharing and I love the snuggles and kisses but he does this bicycle motion with his feet that wakes me up and suuuuucks. Lol I can't wait for DH to build the crib but he works full time, school part time and is studying for his final on Thursday.

He crib sleeps at daycare so I think it will be part bedsharing and part crib sleeping. If I put him in the crib and he screams, I'll probably try 1 to 2 more times then bring him in with me. I love sleep too much lol.

M sleeps in her crib at night, but we've started bedsharing for our morning nap. Best.thing.ever.

I know! G sleeps in the PNP next to our bed but when she wakes up at 6am I put her in our bed and snuggle with her. Sometimes we don't sleep, but usually do. It's the best! I don't want to stop! Haha

I feel like side laying breast feeding is a gateway drug to bed sharing. I tried this position a few weeks ago when D was hungry but overly tired and would not latch. Once we were snuggled up together he stopped crying and nursed right to sleep. Once he was sleeping I just couldn't move him. He was so warm and snuggled up against me. I kept thinking one day he will not want to snuggle any more so I should get them all in now.

We've been roomsharing from the start (bc he had jaundice and I used to get up ten times a night - or more - to check on him before we got the Snuza). There was a week and a half period there where he slept on my chest in the bed, bc his PnP was by the window, and my DH needed to put that plastic over the window, bc for some reason our heat wasn't working in the bedroom very well . . .

He did sleep five nights in his crib, before getting sick, and now I plan on having DH convert the crib to a sidecar crib for the bed, until DS is six months (roomsharing for the first six months is recommended by the AAP ~ like I needed an excuse ;D)

Definitely addicting!

Hahaha truth! I love having her in bed with me. And currently she's cuddled up next to me on the couch having a nap. I swear every day I'm not going to do it., but with DH working so much, it's hard not to just cuddle up.
