just curious if Im alone on this.

I have 3 children already. When they were babies I slept with them in the bed next to me, never had any problems, I was somehow aware of everything going on with the baby. I am re-married now and my husband has never had any kids. We were talking about where to put the baby crib, and I told him that I would probably just end up with the baby in bed with us. He looked at me like I was crazy, and said "wouldn't you roll over on him?" So I was wondering how many other moms would be okay with the baby in your bed, and how many moms are opposed to that?

Hmmmm yes parenting advice from the person claiming to be a nurse on bed rest that gets out of bed to go outside to smoke. By the way your jacket hat etc is not protecting your unborn child. I have not attacked anyone I simply replied to you making fun of my post. You really should read the stuff you post. you change what people are saying.to feel better about your post. You first make fun of my.post by saying sids are more common in a crib yes a lot about sids is still unknown BUT ROLLING OVER ON YOUR CHILD IS NOT UNEXPLAINED.  Thank you for posting and proving my point i am glad.you finally got it or you would have been posting all day to make yourself feel better. Once again just incase I was not calling anyone else a bad parent just simlpy stating people do in fact roll over on their babies even if they think it.will never happen and.your.post about your husband shows my point so once again thank you. For anyone else.that makes to choice to co sleep if it works for you go ahead BUT BE SMART AND DONT THINKNIT ONLY HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE

You flat out attacked people who co sleep. And not all people sleep so hard that they are unaware of what they do while sleeping. Smoking around a baby is thought to increase the risk of sids. I will not deny that but I do not smoke around my baby and take all precautions like smoking out side, wearing a smoking jacket with a hat and washing my hands and face before holding or being around my baby. That is also my point you said smoking can increase the risk of sids. They do not know for sure that is even the case it is THOUGHT to increase the risk. They have no clue what causes sids the precautions they give are things they THINK you can do to decrease the risk. Studies done have given no real evidence that is why they call it sudden infant death syndrome because it is sudden and unexplained. Once they find out a direct cause they will rename it, until then all they can do is try to get parents to take as many precautions as possible and hope it will reduce the cases seen. Has it reduced the cases not really so far but does that mean people should not take precautions NO every parent should do ever thing possible to prevent it.

I myself admit that I break a lot of infant and baby so called "rules or no no's" but I make choices that are right for my baby My family and myself. For instance I don't worry about pillows or blankets or stuffed toys for that matter. But I have not had to deal with a baby with such little head control that they get their face stuck in such items, is that saying that this new baby will not have that problem NO and I will watch to see and make changes as needed. I don't make my parenting decisions from other people's children, I make my choices based on my children because they are all different.

For your comment on my husband yes I did say that and I also stated that he has not laid on them because I was aware of what I and other do while sleeping. Your statement is making it sound like no one is aware is asleep and that is not the case. You also stated that I was putting blame on others which I am not. I am stating facts you are just stating things that are thought or what you believe and using them like they are fact.

I am not aggravated with anyone people can parent anyway they they want I know lots of people that co sleep and thats their choice BUT you clearly stated your husband bragged about the fact that he THINKS he has never rolled over on the baby and in fact has. That was my point to my post people think they know what they are doing when slwwping and they dont. You want people think they are bad parents for letting theor kids sleep in a crib. Taking drugs or drinking or going to bed sober with a kid in the bed are all acts that COULD end in rolling over on a baby.Soking can increase the risk of sids.

No I do not smoke in my house, by the way read away. I am not blaming anyone for anything, I have had no troubles with sleeping with my baby or having a low birth weight baby.

My point was not to judge another parent because you do not agree with their parenting choices. People may not agree with yours and could judge you on your parenting. You seem really aggressive about people not thinking your way though, you should really be more understanding to other people's choices.

so you smoke in bed to since you have smoked with all your pregnancies????  After reading your post on here I am not shocked at your ignorance. You would find a way to blame anyone or anything other than yourself.

No3ontheway- I know what you mean but I am a mom that could not sleep if my baby is not right next to me. My husband tried to put one of our kids in the crib but gave up when he woke up to me asleep on the floor by the crib. When I delivered in the hospital they had a policy that encouraged you to room in with baby but did not allow baby in bed. They found me asleep with baby in bed but did not bother me again after they tried to remove the baby from my bed while I was sleeping. They got a very bad reaction from me and did not bother me again.
