I'm a VERY light sleeper - just a change in breathing or movement would wake me up. I still sleep like that  ....
I can remember nights my sons would just come in my room and stand there (wondering how to wake me up for a drink or whatever)  and I'd SENSE them .....Same with my girls - they sleep with me - always have ....but back when my husband was alive I made sure they always slept curled up with me - he was a heavy sleeper so all those nights were pretty tiring....it was like I never went into deep sleep.....the drawback about a puppy sleeping with someone is they COULD 'go' on the bed - I was lucky - never happened in my case.... mommadog1....way to go on the Adoptions and foster kids - that's something to be commended for ! (I'm adopted and was one of the lucky ones- I LOVE LOVE LOVE my parents)
so now....kiss kiss you 2  you both have good posts from what I've read ...if we all did everything the same things would be boring pretty quickly around here....and the different opinions help because what may work for one person may not for others..... |
Yes I also used a bassinette for my 4 kids when they were little. Never slept a wink because I was listening for breathing. Anyone with knowledge tells us never to put a baby in bed with you. They could get caught up in the blankets or yes it is possible to accidently roll on them while you are unconcious.
And I am also happy that mommadog has adopted and had foster children but that doesn't make my experience with my 4 children and my 4 babies a mute pont.
I just didn't think thast natnat could watch out for these problems with the crate on the bed. She has no experience with this kind of stuff as a breeder would. This is why I thought it would be safer for the pup to be on the floor or on a table next to the bed. As I would hate to read a post that said, "Help my baby fell off the bed"
Not arguing just sticking to my point is all
