Co-sleeping question

[TheOtherHotstepper]

If you are co-sleeping with your baby/toddler, where does your DP sleep, with you and the DC or on their own somewhere else?

That's all.

Thanks

Your dp should be able to sleep in the bed next to you surely? Unless your cot/next to me makes it difficult to get out of bed

If you've got a toddler though it can be difficult to all share the bed, we slept with DD in a super king bed fine from about 2 years-4

When DS was a newborn he slept on the sofa bed if we had to co-sleep, because he has sleep apnoea and had only just got his CPAP so was worried about rolling over and squashing DS as he was such a heavy sleeper.

Now DS is a toddler he goes in the middle of us and spoons up to either one, although he does like to tug on DP's cpap tube sometimes

Baby slept next to me with DH on the other side. When we had two in the bed the toddler was in the middle.

That's what I did when I co-slept with my babies, but that was so long ago that it wasn't even called co-sleeping!

Thanks for confirming that still fits with current thinking.

DH slept in the other room so baby and I could spread out and I could to sleep with the baby on either side of me. There was bo point is us both waking up with the baby. Baby can’t sleep between adults until 6 months old.

King sized bed. Toddler in the middle of the two adults.

Sorry, this was aimed at @Carrieonmywaywardsun

@Flopisfatteningbingforchristmas, May I ask how long you did this for?

When he’s not working he’s on his side of a king size bed, I’m in the middle, baby sleeps cuddled into me on the other side coz I don’t move in my sleep at all and he does. Violently at times. When he is working we sleep downstairs on the settee (which is actually where I prefer to sleep anyway because it’s comfier than my bed and I’ve got more room) and she sleeps beside me on the outside with my arm around her. I’ve done pretty much the same thing with all mine.

I don’t think any of us would get any sleep if we were all in the same bed (which is a king size!) so DH sleeps in the spare room. I think we’d all disturb each other in the same bed.

I have a 6.5 month old and have been co sleeping since she was 4months as it was the only way to get any sleep! However I have only just found out today it says not for them to sleep on memory foam mattress - we have a medium support memory foam mattress with orthopaedic topper and an airmax topper which helps prevent over heating (not memory foam). I’m now panicking our mattress is brand new only a couple of months old so can’t buy a new one. I’m trying to find a firm mattress topper to go on top also but getting no joy with one that doesn’t have memory foam in it!

we have been fine for all our co sleeping nights so far she sleeps on back and on side but always flips to her back, mattress is not saggy as brand new. But now I can’t rest :/ we have the 2 toppers on top of the memory foam so she’s not direct on memory foam. Do you think if I got another topper a firm one ideally that we should be okay?

We have a super king and I still have husband in other room whilst I cosleep. He's too deep a sleep and whilst little one is older and more resilient. Neither of us would sleep if all three of us were in the bed.

Same bed here, but it is a superking so you have more room, you still however sometimes get woken up by being kicked in the face.
