I imagine if my boobs were huge I couldn't do that.

Another way I'd lay is on my side next to the baby.


We have 6 girls, the youngest is 2 now. They grow so fast. Snuggling at night really helps you get in tune with them. Have fun.

i have bigger than huge breasts and i was able to sleep like that with all of my children without any problem.

now i get nervous because my older son creeps in with us some time in the night and ièm afraid heèll step on the baby to get where he wants but even though im not a light sleeper, i ALWAYS wake up when he comes in.

ditto with us too.

today dd is 7 and we are still enjoying cosleeping. when she starts sleeping in her own bed i am going to be soooo lonely.

dd hates wearing clothes to bed. so from 2 onwards i was so glad we were snuggling because i knew she would be warm. she hates wearing anything to bed.

I was just wondering about this. My DS is 8 weeks old (he was premature at 34 weeks, so 2 weeks adjusted). And I usually sleep with him in the crook of my arm. Though last night I woke up to his face smushed into my armpit which worried me a great deal, and I wasn't able to fall back asleep with him like that. He seems to need to be cuddled next to me to sleep well (and I love it too), but now I'm worried he will suffocate in my arm. He doesn't sleep well (nor do I) on my chest. I'm not sure how else to sleep... hmm

funny i'm kind of the reverse. with dd, I HAD to cuddle her. she was probably older than 6 months before i felt comfortable sleeping without full body contact. I just had to be able to feel her. with ds, I most of the time put some space between us and did almost from the beginning. But I consider it because I'm more experienced and less paranoid! I do sometimes just snuggle in. Last night as I drifted off to sleep with my arms wrapped around him I was thinking about how right it felt to sleep with my body coccooning my infant just so primal and RIGHT! i loved it. then i woke up and moved to sleep on my tummy so i could get comfy, haha
