Some experts advise against it. Some suggest it. Moms are the same way. Should you sleep with your baby? I planned to put my baby in a bassinet or crib as soon as I returned home.
When I got home from the hospital after my "emergency Cesarean Section", I couldn't lift Keira in and out of her bassinet at night without help. I couldn't breastfeed without laying down. It only made sense for me to keep her in bed with us.
Originally, I sent my husband out to purchase a small bed cradle that prevents new parents from rolling onto their child. We used this until she was supporting her own head and sitting on her own.
When I confide in my friends, many admit they also sleep with their children. Most are careful not to share that information with any family or friends, unless they are already aware of their thoughts on the subject. Perhaps I am too stupid to hide co-sleeping.
Even now Keira sleeps with us most nights from about eleven until morning. I love that she sleeps late on a regular basis compared with my friends' babies. We have a happy well rested baby and she has happy well rested parents. What could be better?
