Before my, now almost 10 month old son was born, I swore in the crib in his room from day one. Well do to health and feeding issues, we turned to the rock and play. Once he was too big for the rock and play we tried the crib.
Long story short we have tried crib, reclined chair, floor, crib again and now appear to bed share.
Everyone I talk to talks about SIDS and bed sharing especially since he is a belly sleeper.
What to believe? Do you ladies think we need to push the crib for my son who sleeps a h all of alloy better with us in bed on his belly?
Also been bottle / formula fed since 4 months.
Sorry for the format...on my phone

    After my son was crawling, he was in our bed whatever way he would like to sleep and he also knows what pillows are for and climbs up on them himself. If he can get there, he can get off.

    Can your child roll over in both directions and crawl? At 10 months SIDS tends to be less common because the baby can roll over.

    Any regular or prescribed drugs used? Alcohol? Obesity an issue? Smokers? Can't say if you are safe because we do not know you but safe bedsharing is practiced bymany on this board.

    He is a big time roller in fact can transition to crawling and sitting and pull to stand.
    No meds used. No smokers. Heavier than we both want to be, but not obese.
    We have a very firm mattress due to some back problems I have. I guess I am reluctant to bedshare due to the fear of SIDS but at the same time DH and I need sleep.

    Seems like you guys could do it safely. If it would make you more comfortable you could always start by putting LO in an Eddie Bauer travel bed in your bed and then move him directly into your bed when more comfortable. FWIW, I was really nervous when we first started but it works for our family and I am really glad we did. I learned quicklythat I should not discuss cosleeping with anyone but my husband. When asked any question about where or how he was sleeping, I would just reply that he was a good sleeper and leave it at that. Nothing good comes from discussing it with in laws or anyone who isn't already supportive of cosleeping.
