[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For more sleep during the day can you nurse side lying on the bed? Clear all blankets off, and when baby is done dad (or another helper) can take baby to burp him and you can go back to sleep.

Full disclosure, I co-slept like this from day 4 or so because I got zero sleep if I didn’t (and my ex flat refused to do any feedings even day or night when I was still healing from birth and I needed some sleep). My son was big though, and had head control from day 1 (so without blankets I felt comfortable - I know many don’t and that’s OK but mine is now 13). [/quote]

OP here. I know many others do but I would never be okay with co-sleeping. There are too many babe things that can happen when a mom is sleep deprived and I don’t think I would get any rest because I would be worried about rolling over. I’m a heavy sleeper when I do fall asleep and it would make me worry too much. I have many friends/family in healthcare who advise against it and my husband would never be okay with it. I’m glad it worked for you but I feel it’s dangerous and I wouldn’t do it.

You can sidecar the snoo. Put it right next to bed. It’s not bedsharing, will work same as cosleeping  to conserve sleep. [/quote]

OP here. We do that. He sleeps in the Snoo right next to the bed. [/quote]
