I cosleep and bf and at night i often fall asleep whilst feeding and so does she! lol. Its kinda cute really wakng up to find her asleep but sucking on ym boob still

I've got her in a snuggle nest, with the mattress lightly pulled down so I cna lie on my side and feed her without having to prop myself up at all. I've been doing it for 5 weeks now and ive never felt concerned id roll onto her and have not had any problems. I have to say I've probably had the most sleep out of anyone on this forum with a young baby because of that.

When this happens I switch to side feeding but then I worry OH will roll on him so have to wake him & get him to sleep on the floor lol.

I fall asleep while BF all the time. I just always make sure I'm in a position that's safe before starting if I'm tired.

I have a snuggle nest on the bed too, but Jess hates it. She wants to sleep on the 'big people bed' but I've left the snuggle nest on the bed because it creates a wall between me and hubby, who is a deep sleeper. I wouldn't feel comfortable co-sleeping without the barrier there.

I'm still not 100% comfortable with co-sleeping, but that paranoia keeps me alert I think. I would hate to become complacent and then have something happen. Saying that, Jessie seems MUCH happier when I can feed her on my side without having to pick her up and move her around. Just have to change the sheets more often from all the baby spitup! I'm not worried about rolling onto her, more so about the blankets on the bed.
