I might be the dumbest mom out there, or maybe just the most clueless... Ever since my little one was born, I've always chosen to sleep together in one bed. At first, yeah, I tried to get my baby to sleep in their crib. But man, I was so exhausted because every time they woke up at night, I had to fetch them for breastfeeding. I nearly tripped or slipped a few times because I was so tired and barely slept while carrying my baby. Since then, we've always slept together. Even though a lot of people warned me about the dangers, I didn't listen. I was just trying to prioritize my own health too. Sleeping with the baby is so convenient – if they cry, I just pop them onto my boob for a feed.
Then that day finally came... Turns out, I fell asleep and my baby ended up covered by my boob 😭 If my husband hadn't woken up, my baby might not have made it. But luckily, he did wake up and shook me awake in a panic. I bawled my eyes out thinking about the worst-case scenario. Sorry, sweetheart, mama messed up, mama was careless, mama was tired, mama was selfish thinking about her own health.
Has anyone else gone through something like this? Or got any tips about it?
