On the day my baby was born, she would wake up screaming if left in the hospital bassinet for more than 5 minutes. Utterly exhausted, I moved her to our bed, and she has been there ever since. She sleeps soundly all night, waking only to nurse.
She is now 3 months old, and my parents are saying its not healthy for her to be in our bed. Truth be told, I like cuddling with her at night, and our heater doesn't work very well. Since it's winter, my husband gets mad if I try to put her to bed in her crib anyway, saying it's too cold. So we both like the family bed arrangement.
But I know it can't last forever. I'm especially worried about when she starts getting mobile.
We can't afford a side-sleeper or anything like that. Any advice? Anybody else gone through this?
