How many of you sleep with your baby? And do you think it is safe are not?

I slept with brad for a very long timewas as safe as can be in my eyes.... i'm a very light sleeper.....but it got to bean issuewhen he got older... i learned my lesson with him and liv has always been on her own when sleeping.

That depends on what you mean by "safe".  Are you talking about an infant sleeping in your bed, or a toddler?

I know that everyone's opinion is going to differ on this one, but I think that good habits are established when a child has their own sleeping space.  We did, when our first two children were born, start with them in their own beds.  Then they started coming in ours and it was quite a habit to break. We did break it, and didn't let either of the last two children even get a small taste of sleeping with Mom and Dad.  I believe that we all get a better night's sleep.

I nursed the last two babies, and although I know many women who have co-slept with their infant while breastfeeding, I was afraid that I or my hubby would suffocate our baby and that terrified me.  They were safer in a bassinet or their crib with monitors so that I could hear every breath.

simon has never slept with us in our bed in the same room yes but not sharing the bed. sometimes i wish he would lay down and take a nap with me but if i take him in the room to try and lay down with him he just gets to excited and has to get into everything so when he goes down for a nap sometimes ill go take one at the same time.

Mine never slept the night in my bed as babies. Yes in the same room. They did take naps in my bed with me if I was napping too. I honestly dont think it is very safe cause of the chance of smotherin them.

I had Addie in her crib from the day she came home.  I'm not against co-sleeping if someone believes in that.  I had just heard too many horror stories about trying to break the habit as the child got older.  There were a few nights, as an infant, that I had Addie in the bed with me or neither one of us would have gotten any sleep.  When I slept with her, I slept in a bed in her room.  I would have never let her sleep in the same bed with her dad because he sleeps way too sound and I didn't think it was safe.

HECK GARRETT STILL SLEEPS WITH US....... I CAN'T GET HIM OUT OF OUR BED.....HEHEHEH.........I THINK IT IS SAFE JUST AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER THAT HE/SHE IS THERE.

we sleep with alena when she's not feeling good and i do sometimes during the day i have no problem with cosleeping and it may prevent sids as long  as no one is impaired even by a health concern like ppd or depression etc. obesity

I slept with Easton for the first few months & felt it was safe. I think it depends on the person and the way they sleep I guess. I would put Easton on my side of the bed so only I was near him because my fiance' is a heavy sleeper and he even worried that he would roll on him. As for me, I would wake up to the slightest things. One night my fiance' put his arm around me and almost hit E with his hand...I woke up and grabbed his arm before he put it down on the baby.He's now 6 months and I nap with him on the couch (which I've read can be dangerous) but for myself I know I will & do wake at the slightest thing!

We started with Gabriel in a bassinet beside our bed but he hated it, so then we bought another pack and play and put it in our room (we thought he would like a bigger space better) but he hated that too.  So within a week he was in his crib in his room and we had the monitor obviously in our room.  He has come into our room but not until afer 5 in the morning. Until then I go to his room comfort him, feed, or change him and put him back into his crib.  He is 3 months and sleeps through the night and my husband and I get good a night sleep.  It is tough to not have them next to you but I think it is better.  I am not against it at all, but I also think you are adding more environments for the little one to get used to when eventually you are going to want to put them intheir crib and it will be harder then.  My next child will go straight to the crib.  With all that being said.....it's a tought decision and as the mother you will know exactly what to do that will be best for you and your little one!  Good luck!

I did sleep with both my babies  ofttimes  usually only for naps or if they were really sick .....or if I was alone with them sometimes.  It never became a habit  with either of them,tho they loved the days Daddy napped w them more hehheh  I still remember  wen Amy, Garys daughter ,would be w us and all three girls  would romp w him and then theyde all lay down for a nap   so many cute pics When we were in interim travel, between homes  they also  had to sleep   in same in room w us  and whenever we finally located new housing they were THRILLED to have own space again hehheh  

    Now Sam  still sleeps w Caleb and when she and Rob get own place I fear its gonna be REAL hard to get him in his own bed  but Grannys workin on it at least for some short naps hehheh  .

I think it safe but Im a really light sleeper. I let my son sleep with us> I loved every bit of the snuggling but my son is a light sleeper to so he would constently get up in the middle of the night an take forever to go back to sleep. Not too long after my son turned 8 months old my husband said no more. It was horriable breaking him. So horriable. Now I have a 2 month old daughter an she has never slept in our bed we kinda learned our lesson but i do mis the suggling

Hello, we slept with Amber in our bed (she had the bed space from a playpen in the middle of the bed so it had boundaries) until she was 4 weeks old because I had a c-section and it was easier on me while I was healing. We moved her and the bed space into the playpen at the end of our bed until she was 4 months old. Then moved her to her own bed (crib) at 4 months, were she slept better and through the night from day one. I tried to sleep with her one time after that because I was at my mom's and had forgotten the playpen, she was all over the bed and I kept waking up. When morning finally arrived she was basically under me on a king size bed where I had 8 inches to sleep on because she was everywhere. I refused to sleep with her after that...ugh.

The next baby will be the same. Until I heal, the baby will be in the bed in the middle on the pad from the playpen (3-4 weeks). Then in the bassinet we got from my sister until 3 or 4 months. then the crib.
