[Submitted Question]

Our baby will only sleep peacefully in our bed. Unfortunately, I worry that I might roll over at night and hurt him by accident. My husband says not too worry about that, but I can’t help it. Do I have reason to be concerned or is it safe to let him sleep with us?

You absolutely should be concerned. But that doesn’t mean that he can’t sleep with you. As long as you are aware of the need to be concerned, you’re probably in good shape. You’ll need to make sure that he is not covered or surrounded by a fluffy comforter or blanket. Keep him away from the pillows. Anything that could get pushed up against his face and keep him from breathing.

Have you tried a co-sleeper? In that, your baby is right next to you in bed without any barrier – you can keep a hand on his tummy even – but he’s actually in his own little bassinet contraption. This makes it impossible for you or your husband to roll over on him or push him.

If either you or your husband have used drugs or alcohol before bed, your baby should absolutely NOT be in bed with you. Your impaired state could keep you from realizing that you’ve rolled onto your baby or pushed him under a pillow or off the bed.

In my opinion your baby should sleep with you till the age of one or two years and yes it save for your baby if you guys are good in sleeping together before.Hope you will understand what i mean to say.
