Baby’s Who Fight Sleep, Is Co-Sleeping Ok?

So as I wrote in My previous posts about how Baby’s aren’t the same and how it’s very rare some won’t sleep at all! Well Twilight just entered our house as My son will fight his sleep & not sleep at night.

• 
  

he wants to either climb up the headboard on our bed!

• 
  

Refuses to sleep in his cot & will scream until he gets picked up 

• 
  

He will start head butting the cot which is a wooden pine Winnie The Pooh one so as you can imagine that would hurt!

• 
  

He gets that stressed he will smack himself in the face so we have to act instantly & pick him up.

We have tried all recommended strategy’s! To be blunt & excuse my french when I say.... But I call bullshit on these professional baby doctors/advisors.... All these ways to help your Baby well how do they know how your baby thinks? If I’m just figuring out my baby’s fav foods and so on how would they know my baby more than me? But the thing is because they might have had 1 - 10000’s + positive results from baby’s due to Sleep strategy’s, Automatically means every Baby is now the same and it will work on them all?! I believe we’re the only ones that is us parents! Really know how our baby’s truly act & yes we may look about for answers and ask for advice?! but that’s to make us reassured that we’re all in it together that someone out there in this big wide world is going through similar situations  & doing a great job at being parents. But what happens to the saying “ no 2 baby’s are the same?! “ I agree to that term and will stick by it. My son & daughter are total opposites with sleeping even though everything they do is twin like! My son has Anxiety problems & May have some behavioural problems but I won’t know til he’s older, So NO, No techniques will work with him so he has to Co-sleep with me! Ut oh the dreaded talk of Co-Sleeping we’re in the Parenting word the word is like a forbidden one & people don’t talk highly of it! BUT if it says in baby sleeping guidelines that “ it’s no known “ what SIDS ( Sudden Infant Death Sydrome ) is caused by but yet again its due to having general knowledge & not putting your baby at risk! Like as the following :

• Place your baby on their back to sleep, in a cot in the same room as you, for the first 6 months. ( Correct )

• Don't smoke during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and don't let anyone smoke in the same room as your baby. ( This actually shocks me! How can any parent put a baby through this!? Smoking in front of them or allowing any one to? This should be illegal & a Arrestable Case! )
  

• 
  

Don't share a bed with your baby if you've been drinking alcohol, if you take drugs or you're a smoker. ( Again what idiot would drink and be able to be around there child unless there’s another adult who’s sober present?! Letarall have there baby in bed with them? )

• 
  

Never sleep with your baby on a sofa or armchair. ( This is asking for trouble if someone actually does this then questions need to be asked )

• 
  

Don't let your baby get too hot or cold. ( Reasonable Heat To Keep them warm! I would never overheat My baby’s nor let them freeze )

• 
  

Keep your baby's head uncovered. Their blanket should be tucked in no higher than their shoulders. ( Iv Noticed a few idiotic mums being lazy putting a blanket on the baby and balancing a bottle so there Baby can feed themselves so they don’t have to?! Yeah baby can choke or even suffocate if the bottle pushed the blanket on there face!! & also I wouldn’t put a blanket on there face “ For comfort “ get a small baby soothing blanket for them don’t be stupid!! )

• 
  

Place your baby in the "feet to foot" position, with their feet at the end of the cot or Moses basket. ( I did that with both my children )

These little bits of advice can save a life & help you if you need more information.... BUT I’m not advising Co-Sleeping to anyone just because I did it with both my baby’s and there fine! You yourself have to make that decision and speak to a health care advisor beforehand there is truly a lot to consider and procedures need to be made. My Little man will always be My pride & joy and I will love him always ( Just like his sister ) So the lesson learnt today is! If it helps You/Baby(s) sleep & there happy & safe then that’s all that matters.
