I hadn't intended to co-sleep but am now really considering it.
Basically my baby will rarely sleep for more than 20 minutes if not being held.
If being held she'll get in some 1+ hour naps during the day and usually once a day a 3+ hour nap.
So far in her life she's slept in her bed (Ambynest) for 2 4 hour stretches right before a growth spurt and 1 5 hour stretch right after. Otherwise someone needs to be holding her. We've tried other sleeping surfaces as well with the same results. She'll sleep about 20 minutes and wake up.
I tried having her in our bed out of frustration, but she got rolled out . OH is fairly hesitant to co-sleep at all as he has known people who co-slept incorrectly and killed their baby.
So I'm pretty much up all night and often dangerously dozing on the couch when I feed (which is what I spend most of the time doing).
I was thinking a bed guard rail? I don't think I'd roll onto her at all, but I'm still not really comfortable with the idea. Maybe a snuggle nest would be better? I just need to do something.
