[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why people have this badge of pride over starting them in their own room from day 1. That sounds miserable. I can’t imagine having to get out of bed and walk to a different room 5x a night. SO much easier to literally just sit up, grab the baby out of the Halo, feed him with my eyes closed, plop him back in and lay down again.

With each kid we’ve moved them between 4-6 months when they started to wake less frequently. [/quote]

I am petite and, though always had a plentiful supply and big fat ebf babies, I also have small breasts. Nursing lying down never worked for me because it physically wasn’t comfortable, but also I was terrified that I would accidentally suffocate the baby if I fell asleep with them lying down. everyone is totally exhausted when there is a baby in the house, one wrong move in a middle of the night feeding and you are
Rolling over on the baby, or you forget the baby is in bed with you, they fall out, or get trapped under the covers.  Waking up with a baby is pretty miserable anyway you arrange it.

Again, I don’t understand how the above poster’s approach would lessen SIDS risk. She is essentially sleeping with the baby, what if she falls asleep
During one of those feeds? Or smooshes the baby with a drowsy roll the wrong way during a feeding?  I just can’t imagine how nursing a baby in your bed is safer than picking up the baby, sitting in a chair, then placing the baby back into their safe sleeping area. [/quote]

Sorry, I wasn’t clear—I don’t feed laying down. I keep my feeding pillow on the bed and literally sit up cross legged and feed the baby on my lap without getting out of the covers or really opening my eyes or letting myself fully wake up but I’m not laying down so there is no risk of actually falling asleep and smooshing the baby. It just is so much easier to me then getting out of the warm bed, putting on my glasses, opening my eyes fully and walking to another room etc. Especially when I put the baby back and he stirs 2 min later for another burp or a pacifier or something. Having to get back out of bed? Hell no. [/quote]

Nursing while sitting in a bed sounds really uncomfortable to me compared to sitting in a chair.  [/quote]
