Co-Sleeping Rules For Safe Bed Sharing

Co-Sleeping Rules For Safe Bed Sharing

Despite what you might hear from mainstream sources, co-sleeping is perfectly healthy and safe provided you follow all safe co-sleeping guidelines.

As per the anthropological and developmental studies, mothers and children were actually psychologically and biologically designed to sleep together so that the mother could breastfeed and nurture her child through the night. Babies are not designed to sleep alone. The benefits of sleeping together with your little one are enormous as the habit of co-sleeping boosts a child’s physical and emotional health. If you follow the safe co-sleeping rules to the dot, you will have an amazing experience.

Co-Sleeping Rules

Encourage Your Baby to Sleep on His Back

While it may seem like a good idea to let your child sleep on their tummy, this isn’t good for their health.Β  If they are under 9 months old, it’s extremely dangerous as your baby can end up face down on the bed and suffocating.Β  For young babies, it is best to swaddle them and put them on their back to sleep.

Consider Securing the Perimeter

The best way of doing that is moving all furniture and entrapment hazards slightly away from the bed. You may put your mattress on the floor and sleep with your child for more safety as the child would not be badly hurt even if he rolls out of bed. If your bedroom seems to have concrete, tile, or wood floors, it must be cushioned with a carpet pad or a yoga mat. Alternatively, you could consider placing your mattress strategically on the box spring for extra support and security. You must not consider putting soft items or placing pillows around your bed for protecting your child from falls because soft items could pose a suffocation hazard. Personally, I like Magic Bumpers.

Use the Best Mattress

Crib mattresses are made to specific safety standards, unlike regular mattresses, so be sure if you are cosleeping you have a high-quality mattress. Ideally, you should get an organic mattress so you know that it doesn’t contain harsh chemical substances like flame retardant and toxic materials that could adversely impact your child’s health and safety. Moreover, the mattress must perfectly fit the dimensions of the bed frame for ultimate safety.

If your fingers can fit between the mattress and the rail there is the possibility of entrapment. You should set it up to be safer by stuffing that gap with a rolled up blanket or towel. It goes without saying that you should use firm mattresses with cotton-fitted sheets and avoid pillows, stuffed animals, and fluffy comforters that could be a suffocation hazard for your little one.

Ensure that Everyone Is Sleeping in the Correct Place

A baby must sleep next to his mother instead of between father and mother. Mothers are mentally and physically supposed to be more conscious about the child’s presence even when sleeping. It is quite unlikely that a mom would be rolling over onto her baby. However, some dads may not be having the same sensitivity toward his baby’s presence particularly when he is in deep sleep. It is quite possible for a dad to accidentally roll over or even throw out his arm onto his child. After practicing for a few months, it is believed that most fathers were able to develop a sharp awareness of their kid’s presence but this depends on a lot of factors. If you need to have your baby sleep in the middle of the bed between you and hubby, we recommend using a DockATot for the first 9 months or so to keep your baby safe or consider getting a bedside sleeper.

Co-Sleeping Rules For Safe Bed Sharing

If you follow these co-sleeping rules and a few basic guidelines, sharing a bed with your little one poses no risks and is perfectly safe. Both the parents and the child can sleep peacefully.Β

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

Read more about this belt in today's post on the blog! Link in bio.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

It’s always quite the effort to take a family picture, but even harder when you need to use a tripod! 🀣 This is the best we could do! πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€ͺ

β€œUnless there is a Good Friday in your life, the β€œUnless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.”
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

β€œHe himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ 

Let us not forget the significance of Good Friday. For on this day, Jesus was thinking about YOU!

We are already dreaming about going back to @story We are already dreaming about going back to @storylandnh! πŸ₯³πŸ€©

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.
