Would this be safe?

[Lukensky]

I'm new here but I need some advice.

My baby is 5 months old and kept crying and wouldn't go to sleep for me. My partner told me he'd try and get him to sleep and told me to go and have a rest (I was trying for about a while). Anyway, I just checked on them and baby is asleep on the bed and partner has fallen asleep next to him. Would this be safe to co sleep? I don't really want to wake up baby as he's finally asleep now but if I have to I will. What are peoples opinions on this?

You need to give the co sleeping guidelines a quick squizz. A few checks can make a safe environment for you, DP and baby. Good luck x

As above. Check guidelines for co sleeping.

Sounds like maybe you won’t sleep anyway if your worried about baby.

I wouldn't personally

I have coslept with all my babies, sometimes you got to do what you can for sleep.

I’ve co slept with all of mine from birth, I don’t see the problem..

As long as you practise safe co-sleeping, it’s fine. We have just transitioned DD2 to her cot after 7.5 months of co-sleeping.

I always co slept with mine when needed to get rest but it was always me and the baby on a double bed or mattress, never both me and dh and the baby, so that there was plenty of space.

Could you invest in a Next2Me bed so that baby can be cuddled to sleep on your bed, and then placed in the next to me bed so you can sleep too without actually having to move him far? Only thing is it probably won't be much longer till he's too big for that, at around 6 or 7 months we always started our DS off in his own cot in his bedroom, then in the night he would end up in our bed until the morning. We still do this now, the bigger & more robust he gets, the more relaxed about it we've become. We've now invested in a super king bed so that we can all continue to have a good night's sleep 😂. He's staying in his own cot longer and longer the older he gets. Works for us!

There is no problem with safe co sleeping but that’s clearly not what the OP is describing here.

Mind you I have to admit I’ve fallen asleep with my baby, it isn’t ideal though obviously.
