How to Actually co-sleep safely?

[ladybirdflies]

If I have my bubba in bed with me I pop her high up in the bed so her head is more in line with mine, so if I have the covers up to my shoulders it covers her her from her high waist down. She is swaddled so doesn't need to much warmth. LAying down to feed while you are learning how to feed is not a great idea. I would suggest getting up (i know that is hard when you are tired) but being awake and making sure he drains the breast well is a good habit to get into so he will sleep longer periods instead of snacking all night long. That way you will only be tired until you both get into the swing of it, feeding (snacking) overnight long term is very tiring!

I'm not on BB very often now L&B but just saw this thread and had to come in and say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

As for co-sleeping. When my girls were really little I used a nappy change table pad that has high sides and had them next to me. Then when they were a bit bigger, I lay on my side with them in the crook of my arm.
