However, if I had to choose, I think the most important thing is for baby to have a separate place to sleep.<br /><br />I know there are parents who like to cosleep with their kids, and I have certainly fallen asleep with baby a time or two, but it is possible to roll on them and not know. If you have a spouse or partner who sleeps very soundly, they may not notice if they rolled on baby and that is a possibility that could be avoidable. <br /><br />So, depending on your preferences, there are cosleepers where baby sleeps in a sleeper off the side of your bed, pack n plays, bassinets, and so many other options.Brittany Vantreasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031889863481625710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177319937053720737.post-70641505068440052002019-09-17T08:49:34.586-05:002019-09-17T08:49:34.586-05:00Thank you for this fabulous post.
