Today i discovered some couples don’t sleep in the same bed when they have a new baby (and the dad/other parent doesn’t help through the night). It’s not something we have done or even considered.

Does your partner sleep in the same bed as you, if you have a newborn/baby who wakes in the night?

Why do people choose to do this?

(obviously i know i am being unreasonable - people can do what they want - posting here for traction)

I also cosleep and I'd rather have more bed. Oh and he snores 😂

He didn't choke. And the one I left the beaker in the cot with COULD sit herself up then.

But no one has actually shown any instances of a baby choking to death on a sip of water

Choking to death

Again... you're adding words and making things up. Have you your glasses on or do you enjoy just adding random things in to try make your strange points?

So where's the choking issue then?

We did the ‘norm’ with DD1.

DD2, I bedshared and breastfed on demand for 2 years. DH was in the spare room. Then DH bedshared for 6 weeks to night wean. Then all 3 of us bedshared until she was 3.

At that point, both girls shared a room with their own beds.
