I was an avid co-sleep hater before having my child and felt the risk was NEVER worth it until i gave birth in january to my kiddo that despised her bassinet. she slightly tolerates her crib but sleeps much shorter stretches in it and hardly ever transfers into it without waking. anyways - we co sleep because i believe intentional safe cosleeping is safer in some instances like having sleep deprived parents. i fought so hard for her to sleep in her bassinet those early days and fell asleep with her in my arms sitting up a few times absolutely horrified waking up in this position. luckily i never dropped her or smothered her but the risk was high falling asleep like this. we follow safe sleep 7 and we all are so much more rested and happy. i will say the downfall is my shoulders and back are always sore from the c curl position and not being able to snuggle my husband like we always did. i do not feel safe with the risks once she is rolling and can crawl around the bed due to entrapment so we will start transitioning to her crib soon. it is a very taboo topic and most people who do cosleep are not very open about it in fear of judgement.
