I have a 10 mo old baby (last of 4) and he has slept with me from day one.. He could not sleep by himself. I had my bed against a co sleeper but he ended up in bed with me anyway, FOr teh first 4 mo he slept sideways with his feet touching my side. That way he was close enough to feel me but he couldnt have his face covered or smothered without first beign rolled completely over on. I finally had to change him to normal sleeping position because he was getting too long.
My yorkie has slept with me through it and has never bothered the baby. In fact, now that my son can grab an ear etc. he prefers to leave the bed usually unless my son is super asleep. He doesnt trust him
My dog and son are best friends and he doesnt lick him etc. He pretty much ignores him but loves him no less. |
