Co-sleeping saved my sanity and gave me sleep✨🤍

For us, it means more rest, easier night feeds, and the sweetest morning cuddles. It’s not for everyone, but it works for us. She uses her crib during the day for naps so atp she also knows bedtime is when we both go to bed🌙💤 Do you co-sleep or not? Tell me why 👇 Save this if you’ve ever considered it!👀💬

I co-sleep as well! It’s easier to put him back to sleep after feeding him and i can keep a closer eye on him! And you are not wrong about those morning cuddles!

cosleeping saved my sanity ☁️
Full disclosure I waited to start cosleeping until my son was ten months old because we didn’t meet all of the safe sleep seven criteria (exclusive pumping mom instead of bf). I was waking up 5+ times a night with him and cosleeping improved his sleep by soooo much. It saved my sanity. #momlife
