Safe to put baby between mom and dad?
We’re a cosleeping family travelling tomorrow and I can’t sleep !
My son is 8 months, EBF, 22 pounds, 99 percentile for height, strong and loud but is still figuring out crawling (he can mostly crawl backwards lol) can sit independently but not sit up on his own.
He’s very active and mobile so him and me sleep on a mattress on the floor while dad is in the spare room. He’s fallen off our floor mattress before (baby, not dad, lol)
We’re going to be staying at a friend’s house with a normal, elevated, queen bed. We’ll have access to an infant crib though. What would you do if you were me?
Put the baby in the crib and get up 1290 times a night ? Or put the baby between me and my husband, thus acting as human bed rails ?
None of us drink, smoke or do drugs. We won’t be using any blankets. I don’t know how firm the bed is.
I remember reading sweet sleep by la lecce league and them saying starting 4 months a baby can co sleep with any responsible, sober adult. I also remember them talking about the two parents acting like human bed rails. But I also know that in SS7, they say the baby shouldn’t be between the two parents. I don’t know which is the age cut off.
I literally have anxiety at the thought of not cosleeping. And I really want us to all sleep together ! This whole thing is making my vacation such a source of stress…
