So, i've been reading through the forum, and found the thread on SIDS ..
I am very very very scared about this, as a friend lost her granddaughter last year... So i wanted to ask a few questions
i co sleep with Izzy - It's just me and her in big queen bed... Now what i do is have her on one side with her own set of blankets and me on the other. I like this as i am able to hear/see if she is breathing... She also sleeps in her bassinet at night sometimes too, this will be for half the night, because i find i don't get a good night sleep with her in it (always getting up worrying, etc) And during the day she is in her chair or on me (she isn't a very big day sleeper)
Now my questions are... Is my method of co'sleeping safe? should i be doing it another way? when is it time to stop co-sleeping?
Anothe questions is her cot is too big to go into my room, and her bassinet is too small for her too sleep in forever, so my question here is, when do i put her in her own room? and how? is it a straight away thing, or do i get her use to it?
SIDS would have to be one of my biggest worries... Expecially at the moment because izzy has caught a cold, that went away, got her injections a week later, her cold relapsed and went to her chest on antiboitics first 2-3 days seem to be working, her chest cleared up... now tonight it seems like its back
So relating to Izzy's Cold, i have a few more questions... what am i doing wrong She is dressed warmly each day, socks - singlets - long shirt - long pants, growsuit - singlet - wrapped up at night... very warm house, in the house by 4 (before night air sets in) vapriser in room... I'm not a smoker, neither is any one else in the house. or hardly anyone we visit smokes... and if they do its out side away from izzy... yes - to breastfeeding
it feel slike she been fighting this 'cold' for ages... and i just feel so bad... Doctors are assuring that every thing is okay, just to do with change of weather etc... but other babies arn't getting sick?
Ohh, that's my speil for today... sorry if i sound like a nutcase mother! hehe... feel like one today! need adult communication! lolz!
