Family Bed

Having experience with sleep training and co-sleeping, we chose the latter as it fits our lifestyle better. Simply for the convenience in breastfeeding at night, coziness of baby being near us, and the ease of putting baby down to bed. Also so that we won't be saddled with a baby cot that may be rarely used.

In the 1st few weeks, we used a sleep positioner to help prop baby up to nurse when he sleeps. Now that he is 2 months old, he can nurse while lying down with less help.

Babies who sleep in the family bed will tend to be more secure as parents will respond quicker. And well, they are babies. They do deserve to be babied!
