Are you stressed about baby sleep?
If you're a new mom, SIDS is likely at the top of your mind. You had to watch the videos before you left the hospital. You know baby is safest on their ALONE on their BACK in a CRIB (ugh) but your baby will.not.sleep. without touching you.
How will you ever survive?
What if there was a guilt free way to sleep with your baby without feeling like you're the worst mom ever? Or worse- that you're a danger to your baby.
Here's the problem:
You know that you're not supposed to bring your baby into your bed at night because it's really dangerous, right? But you are so exhausted and don't know how you are going to manage doing this and continuing to breastfeed. It might just be easier to switch to formula because then Dad can wake up and feed baby too!
You feel like sleeping with your baby is biologically normal and instinctive, but you are so scared from that video they made you watch at the hospital. You would never forgive yourself if something happened. You think that bringing a baby into bed is the #1 risk for SIDS. But breastfeeding is also important. It seems like you can't have both! Right??
How would it feel to:
*get the rest you and your baby need without worrying you'll hurt him?
*not have to get up out of bed 100X a night?
*stop worrying about falling asleep with your baby in the bed?
*optimize your breastfeeding relationship without losing sleep?
*be knowledgeable about the real SIDS risks so you bedshare with confidence?

What if I'm not sure I want to co-sleep?
In the guide I go over alternative options, and explain other strategies that could get you more comfortable/safer. Chances are you are going to bring your baby into bed at some point so might as well get it prepared as safely as possible in case that happens.
Can I still co-sleep I combo feed or exclusively pump?
Exclusive breastfeeding makes for the safest co-sleeping, and risk goes up with any bottles, however the risk in incremental compared to the increase in risk with other factors like smoking or soft bedding. You can choose your own risk tolerance based on your family's situation.
If I bedshare won't my kid be in my bed literally forever?
I don't think I know anyone who's children go to college still having to sleep with them. When you and your family are ready to make the transition to independent sleep, there are gentle ways to transition and lots of resources! Just focus on one day at a time and try not to worry about the future.
