co-sleeping

I know there's a lot of debate around co-sleeping, and many experts warn against it. However, I wanted to share my personal experience and why I made the choice to co-sleep with my baby despite the warnings. From the moment my baby was born, I felt a deep discomfort leaving them alone in their crib. The thought of them sleeping in a separate space made me anxious and restless. I tried several times to get used to it, but I couldn’t shake off the worry and fear that something might happen while they were out of my sight. Eventually, I decided to trust my instincts and let my baby sleep next to me. It felt natural and comforting to have them close. I could easily check on them, make sure they were breathing okay, and respond immediately if they needed anything. This gave me peace of mind and helped both of us sleep better. I understand the concerns and potential risks associated with co-sleeping, and I took extra precautions to make our sleeping arrangement as safe as possible. I ensure there's a firm mattress, no loose bedding, and I never co-sleep if I’m overly tired or have consumed alcohol. For me, co-sleeping has fostered a stronger bond and a sense of security. It’s what works best for us right now, even if it goes against conventional advice. I’m curious to hear from others—have any of you chosen to co-sleep despite the warnings?
