Co-Sleeping With Your Baby

Co-Sleeping With Your Baby
Are you considering co-sleeping with your baby? The cododo bed might be just what you're looking for!
In this article, we'll explore the concept of co-sleeping and dive into the benefits and considerations of using a cododo bed.
So, get ready to learn how this innovative sleeping arrangement can bring you and your little one closer while ensuring a safe and comfortable sleep environment.
What is a Cododo Bed?
A cododo bed, also known as a bedside sleeper or co-sleeper, is a specially designed crib that attaches securely to the side of your bed.
It allows your baby to sleep right next to you, within arm's reach, while still having their own separate sleeping space.
With a cododo bed, you can enjoy the benefits of co-sleeping without the risks associated with bed-sharing.
Benefits of Using a Cododo Bed
  1. Enhanced Bonding: Sleeping in close proximity to your baby promotes bonding and fosters a sense of security and closeness between you and your little one.
  2. Convenient Nighttime Feeding: With a cododo bed, nighttime feedings become easier and more convenient. You can quickly attend to your baby's needs without having to leave the comfort of your bed.
  3. Improved Sleep: Having your baby nearby can provide a sense of reassurance, leading to improved sleep for both you and your little one. You can quickly respond to their needs and provide comfort as required.
  4. Safe Sleep Environment: Cododo beds are designed to ensure a safe sleep environment for your baby. They feature sturdy construction, breathable materials, and secure attachment mechanisms, reducing the risk of accidental suffocation or entrapment.
  5. Transition to Independent Sleeping: As your baby grows older, the cododo bed can serve as a transitional space between co-sleeping and independent sleeping. It allows them to gradually adjust to sleeping in their own crib while still being close to you.
Considerations for Using a Cododo Bed
While cododo beds offer numerous benefits, it's important to consider a few factors before making a decision:
  • Safety Guidelines: Follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines for proper installation and usage of the cododo bed.
  • Bed Compatibility: Ensure that your bed is compatible with the cododo bed attachment mechanism to ensure a secure fit.
  • Sleeping Surfaces: Use a firm mattress for both your bed and the cododo bed to minimize the risk of suffocation.
  • Age and Development: Consider your baby's age and development when deciding to use a cododo bed. Consult with your healthcare provider for their recommendations.
  • Individual Preferences: Every family is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Consider your own comfort, preferences, and parenting style when deciding on sleeping arrangements.

Anyone who co sleeps does your baby ever wake up just enough to see if your still there. My daughter does kinda makes it hard to get her in the bassinet

So for a week now ice been co sleeping with my baby since she screams when she's not sleeping with me.. today at 6am she learned how to roll and fell out of my bed and hit the floor super hard.. it broke my heart to hear her screaming Like that. I didn't know she could roll but I do wanna co sleep. The guy I've been talking to made me feel super bad about everything that happened today and I cried for 4 hours. She's at the hospital rn. She seems ok but I need to get her checked out😔💔

Include something with your scent on it or you could swaddle him.

co sleeping can be dangerous IF you’re not doing it right. I ABSOLUTELY HATE when other mother’s try to make us mothers who do co sleep feel bad for doing so. TONS of mothers co sleep and their baby’s turn out fine. Just find SAFE ways of co sleeping. I co sleep because I feel better feeling my sons every movement I’m quicker to react if something is wrong if he’s right next to me. you can’t do that when they’re in a bassinet. Also my baby has to feel me in order to sleep. I just put him in a sleeper and keep him without blankets next to me. I am a light sleeper and I don’t move in my sleep that’s why I am comfortable with doing so. If you deep sleep or move a lot in your sleep then yes I suggest you put your baby in a bassinet. Regardless of co sleeping or bassinet sleeping neither is wrong! But to each it’s own!

I agree definitely by preference… me I’m not doing it just like you said I’m a deep but also light sleeper but also can be a wild sleeper depending on how tired I am Im too scared … but luckily my aunt bought a bassinet that the sides let down so if something was to happen god forbid I can respond and call 911 or do cpr which ever … but it definitely depends on the parent

Yes! Everyone knows which one they’re more comfortable with doing I have a bassinet too so when he does let me put him in there I do but if my baby isn’t in a deep sleep and I try putting him in his bassinet he’ll cry😭 I think his eye site is getting better too because when I do put him in his bassinet and he’s awake I’ll set up my phone in there and put on a kids movie for him and he just be so quiet watching it 😂❤️

I was co sleeping with my baby till he was 6 months and wasn't sleeping through the night either so I thought it was time to put him in his crib so maybe he would sleep better, yet he still isn't sleeping throughout the night and still wakes up multiple times 😥. Hopefully yours has a better outcome.

I was co sleeping with my baby until she was 6 months and she was constantly on the boob and not sleeping, i moved her to her room and did sleep training. She wakes up only 2 times a night now which for me compare to before is like a miracle.

Did you co-sleep with your baby?? My baby won't sleep in his bassinet but I'm so scared to let him sleep in the bed with me.

Try swaddling baby when you put him in the bassinet. That’s the only way my son will sleep in his bassinet. I cosleep with him normally 4am-7am cause he seems to not want to sleep alone at the time he’ll only sleep with me
