my 2 month old daughter sleeps with me in our bed and she seems to be so comfortable with it every night. every time i try to put her in the crib she seems to cry and wake-up all night long. i am kind of worried because i want her to get used to it but how can i do it?

that's a hard thing to do now especially when she get used to it being with you every time she sleeps. i don't think it is a good idea to put her sleep together with you.

oh no, it's a bad starter to put her to sleep. you should have get her used to sleep in her crib or you will forever do that not until she grows up.

although you don't want her crying out loud but you need to do it, to put her asleep in the crib.

try to let her sleep in the crib while you are hushing and singing lullaby... if she gets to sleep, you can do it every night until she feels comfortable.

if you are going to ask me, it's a bad idea to let her sleep with you. she's still a baby and very delicate you might roll over with her.


cindy - November 13th, 2010 4:13 PM

yes that's true, or worst, if she's the type that moves a lot, she might fall over in case you are just sleeping both alone.

it is not really advisable to put the baby to sleep with adults in one common bed. why don't you try to put her crib near your bed so you can just check her once in a while why you are in bed.

actually it isn't really that bad after all. study shows that there are psychological positive effects when you are sleeping with your babies.


ziva_mesh - November 13th, 2010 4:44 PM

that's right, a study shows that leaving your baby at a very young age alone in the crib will develop him/her the fear that was embarked on their subconscious.

have you heard about sudden death infant syndrome? i don't think this can be a result of sleeping with your baby as long as you are doing it safely and properly. you know and aware that your baby is there and that your consciousness are open and sensitive.

just be 100% sure first that your baby cannot roll over the sides. avoid putting her in between you and your husband. it is better that she seemingly sleeps beside you and a railing if possible on the other side.

another thing is that avoid putting her asleep on those uncomfortable mattress, a water/feather-bed, some beanbags is so uncomfy. you should avoid matters that tends to deepen when a head is on placed or she might end up suffocating herself.

precautionary measures are very important, i don't mean you do it, but just in case: do not sleep with your baby when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. medical prescription given to you by the doctor will let you feel a bit of uncomfortable when going to sleep, so just keep off sleeping with your baby instead.

as much as possible to not stuff too many pillows in your bed when your baby is sleeping with you. put her in a comfy sleepwear to make her feel comfortable all night long.


monica - November 14th, 2010 6:40 AM

those are very useful tips. i am thinking that sleeping with your baby is not bad at all. just take all those tips, nothing will ever go wrong. :)

SIDS may truly happen for most studies done... responsible parenting on this matter is very important and mothers are widely known to be as they take care of their babies. most accidents happen when your baby falls off or get trapped with big pillows and mattresses.
