    100% agree with you about bed sharing. I was sooo against it when I was pregnant. My husband and I are both deep sleepers and I so paranoid but being a mum I swear you become a light sleeper and it’s honestly the most amazing thing sleeping with your baby. The snuggles are something you’re never going to get back so why not do it while you can. Plus my baby sleeps 1-2 hours in his bassinet opposed to 9 hours in bed with us. Everybody is so different though so you do whatever is right for you.

      I, too, was agaisny bedsharing until I actually had her and my instincts went in the complete opposite direction. It's just so taboo in western societies.
      I wrote a pretty lengthy comment but watch the Etruscan Smile with Brian Cox. It really puts into prespective what society can do and shape as far as a baby goes. Not too long ago, every mother would sleep with baby in some form or fashion - it WAS the natural thing to do.
      What I find funny is, the say to not do it because..well, SIDS..but when SIDS became a thing in the US, they referred to it as 'crib death' because babies were dying in their crib verses in bed. And from there SIDS grew into this anti-bedsharing campaign when in reality, numbers are showing that bedsharing reduces the chances of SIDS in crib because moms heightened senses in bed can either stop a baby from sufficating or she instantly wakes to fix the problem her baby may be having.
      Mom instincts are amazing.

    Wake windows were absolute key for my baby boy... I couldn't believe how exact it was most days... Also, just wanted to say... Being mentally prepared for the lack of sleep, and knowing there is an end to it eventually, helps so much!

    Bed sharing while breastfeeding is so amazing! I could wake up, put the baby on my boob and fall back to sleep myself almost as soon as she latched. Once they are old enough to know how to get the milk without you having to do anything, that is the best way to catch up on sleep. Hands down.

  • @creativesea.design
    @creativesea.design 3 роки тому +22

    Obviously every family does what works for them, every culture is different, every family is different and every baby is different, but just wanted to say that falling asleep while breastfeeding is the most natural thing to a baby. Our milk has some hormone (I believe?) that makes them sleepy. Again, every family is different, just saying that moms breastfeeding to sleep don't HAVE to stop, if that is working for them.

We have three children - three, two and one - and we sleep trained all of them at the age of two months. We do have bumps here and there - but what a treat to be able to sleep a full night. Thanks for sharing because it can be overwhelming. Greetings from a Canadian Portuguese girl living in the US to another Canadian Portuguese girl!

    Great video! As a exclusive breastfeeding mom I have a question, when you would do the dream feed while swaddled or even in the sleep sack did you burp her and change her? Also same question when side breastfeeding did you burp her. Because I notice my baby girl gets really gassy if don’t and sometimes even chokes a little from the milk.

    During my pregnancy I remember thinking "No. Baby will NOT sleep with me in bed. Period." And then I had her and my instincts went immeditely to the opposite. I did not and would not feel comfortable with her away from me.
    I believe more studies are coming out with bed sharing, that it actually DOES have benefits for baby and mom but until Western society gets over the taboo thought if it, it will remain taboo. My mom was one of those mothers that was raised that it was an absolute no no and so for her daughter(s) to do it was shocking and worrisome for her. Believe it or not, there was a movie she fell in love with that changed her mind. It's called the Etruscan Smile with Brian Cox. Long story short; he lives in a very small town in Scotland where they aren't afforded the luxuries of us Westerners so when his son moves to the US and has a baby he comes along where they are "sleep training" their baby and he just doesn't get it. All the routines, seperation yada yada. It's a great movie and really shows you how far we have come from what used to be normal to now be considered seperation.
    Anyhow - like you said, my insticts have kicked in. She is almost 6 months and I just have this overwhelminh feeling that she is ready to sleep in her crib and have her own space so we are going to start the gentle training. A week of naps in her crib and then moving on to the Ferber method if necessary. I think what is most important is them being able to move on their own. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting her down if she wasn't strong to move on her own.
    Thank you for this video! Our babies seem very similar!!

My 5 months old son wakes up at 4/4:30 for feeding and it takes an hour to fall back sleep then he sleeps until 6-8 so it is really difficult to have daily fixed schedule. By the way What happened when you stopped Dream feed? Did your milk supply dropped?

Nikole, did you use the Snoo starting Day 1 with Sage, and were you ever concerned about the movement especially at the higher levels? I know it's a common concern for first-time users/parents. Logically I've read the Snoo is very safe and I shouldn't worry too much, but I keep envisioning me bringing home our baby and getting a little freaked out seeing it in person. Did you ever limit the motion or just let it do its thing? Thanks!

      Studies are showing that burping isn't always necessary.

I stopped burping my baby around the 3/4 month mark because I noticed she didn't need it.
