My baby girl has been allowed to sleep in bed with us two times, accidentally. I have noticed that when she sleeps in bed with us, she'll sleep all night long, but if she's in her crib, bouncer, swing or bassinet, she'll only sleep a few hours at a time. We've tried putting my shirt in her crib, putting her to bed with a warm water bottle for the warmth, warming the spot where she lays with a heating pad and playing a heartbeat for her. She just won't sleep deeply anywhere else but in bed with both of us. I know she's young and isn't likely to be spoiled, but my boyfriend is 7 ft. and over 400 lbs and I'm not a lightweight myself, just having given birth and all, so I don't want her to cosleep with us, as it's not safe enough for her. Plus, our bed is just a matress on the floor for now, so we can't get one of those bedside crib things. Any other suggestions for a mom whose baby has been up her butt for three days straight now? Lol...
