Sleeping with face right next to side of cosleeper - is this safe?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
We recently started putting our 3 month DD down in the cosleeper on her own at the beginning of the night. She's swaddled and on her back. Before now she was mostly in my arms or in bed with me, where she sleeps on her side or back with her face near my boob/armpit. Alseep in the cosleeper, she scoots herself over to the side where I would be in bed, and turns her head so her nose is very very close to the side of the cosleeper, the side that's up against the bed. Does this seem unsafe? Can she get enough air this way?

mine did that too. Sometimes she'd try to nurse the side of the cosleeper too :0)
She hated being swaddled so she was in a sleep sack at that point with really good head control so it probably was not dangerous but I still didn't like it.
Now, at 10.5 months, she still loves to bury her head under balnkets or pillows (when she's in bed with us) and it continues to drive me crazy but I know she can and will move if she needs to.

Don't known if this helps...
