Hi! Both my husband and I have been co-sleeping with our kids (he with #1, & me with #2). I find that there are more benefits to co-sleeping. They feel more secure, they sleep longer and if you are breastfeeding at night, no need to go up and pick baby up. Haha. My initial concerns when I started co-sleeping was what if i accidentally smothered him. I dunno if you are a light sleeper, somehow I am always conscious of where the baby is when I am sleeping. I also put up a bedrail at my side of the bed just in case.

yup. most of time he is on my chest lah. but when i feed him lying down, he will be on my side and then after he will just continue sleeping on his back

Even me and my hubby Co sleep with my 8 months bb since she is born...
I think it's much better because baby feels safe, easy to bf and bonding develops
otherwise keep checking baby on cot in middle of night is quite tiring!

eh for first few mths, I swaddled him and he slept on the cot cos he is the kind v noisy also won"t wake up. but when he is more aware, like fuss more when sleeping, then we started co-sleeping. save my sleep!
