I am sorry for your families loss. Like all the other ladies said, it happens. My aunt had an in home daycare and a lil boy died of sids while he was there. There was no fault on my aunts part, or anyone elses. But I agree co-sleeping, or sleeping with baby in bed with you is more dangerous than them sleeping in a seperate spot. I have a playpen that has a bassinet piece my daughter will be in for the first few months, then she'll sleep in her crib. This is a thought on my mind, and it scares me cus it's something I can't control. None of us can, all we can do is try our best to make sure tharlt they are in a safe place at all times. And back sleeping is best, they're not strong enoufh to pick up their heads to move around and breathe on their stomachs.

Where i am they now say back only,  apparently side sleeping can block off airways and/or cause overheating.

I'm sorry for your sisters loss. That's horrible. But there is no way to completely prevent sids since they haven't found a reason as to why it happens. But when I had my last child they would not allow me to put her on her belly to sleep. They said that causes sids. Which is confusing because 5 yrs ago they told me the opposite. So I don't even know. I kept her on her back. They said there side And back are the best ways to prevent sids

Sids is sudden infant death syndrome. They dont exactly know what causes it, but there are ways that apparently minimize the risks.  I would recommend doibg some research.

What's SIDS? I'm a first time mom and this post is making me scared for my baby if she ever stop breathing on me, I wouldn't know what to do...

Co sleeping is not safe. I have a bassinet as well right next to my bed so I can easily get up at night and check on him/feed him etc...

My sisters baby was 4 months old so its best to have the baby by itself and close to you

Aww we Sorry for your lost! Same happened with my sister's baby except they walked in on the cat on top of her but ruled as sids. I've slept with my babies but not right under me it does make u more aware of them in the bed with u.I wasn't getting any sleep anyhow lol

[Crystal0093]

I'm constantly checking to make sure she is breathing ..
I can hardly sleep at night because of tht..

[Crystal0093]

If you don't mind me asking, how old was your sisters baby?? And I'm very sorry for her loss..
I am also very paranoid about tht. My daughter is three weeks old today, she sleeps in like the rocking sleeper idk what it's called beside my bed, I have a bassinet too but she hates it and will not sleep in it. :/

*co-sleeping is

[super_nerdy_mommy]

*bed sharing. Co-sleeper is sharing a room with the baby. A separate bassinet or crib or co-sleeper cot is recommended if you want your baby in your room with you. I'm using a Co-sleeper when my lo comes. It gives the baby a separate surface to sleep on, but attaches to the side of your bed to make access to the baby even easier.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Most doctors and experts say that co-sleeping is not okay. It only takes one moment that could cause SIDs. You should Use a bassinet or crib but keep it close to your bed so you can still check on baby.

[bump_2_be]

Baby is safest sleeping alone, I have my lo in a bassinet that is right beside my bed so I can keep a close eye on her. As sad as it is, it happens and they don't exactly know why. All you can do is try to create the safest sleeping arrangements you can.  There is a bit of info on sids safe sleeping online, if you aren't sure try googling it. Best of luck and im sorry for your families loss
