Co-Sleeping Safely & Comfortably - Nighttime Diaper Changing

[@chisanainoris5364]

Amazing video thank you! Question about pacifiers do you have a video on how you utilize a pacifier or how you knew your kids wanted one? Thanks!

Hi Willow thank you for this incredible video which allowed me to actually follow my own intuition and push through to figure out a working way to co-sleep. It's changed my life and that I hope, of my baby, for the better! While that works for the night, during the day, I'm struggling with getting him to nap on his own and also wondering if he should be doing so at a specific time. Would love to watch a video on how you do that. Thanks!

Hi Willow, Can you do a video on transitioning your cosleeping toddler out of your bed? I am expecting baby #2, and #1 has been with us since birth. I know it’s not safe to have a newborn and toddler in the same bed. Could you share your experiences regarding transitioning a little one out of your bed? Thanks.

It’s in the works!! Probably this week 👍🏼

I’m in the same situation, a two year old and one about to be born.

Hello what is a hemp doubler? Is it two hemp inserts, or a single hemp insert that has 2 layers?

[@nicolekahler3190]

Do you night wean your babies? Or do they naturally stop breastfeeding at night? Could you explain how you night weaned your babies if you do. I am about 11 weeks pregnant and still nursing my 22 month old. The baby is due at the end of July so I am trying to figure out what to do. My baby still wakes up frequently at night .. any advice would be so helpful 😌

Are they not uncomfortable in wet diapers? Cotton feels wet right? I guess I'm the one uncomfortable in letting my baby sit in wet and/or soiled diapers throughout the night! My baby would not wake up and when I check, her cotton trifolds are usually soaked through :(

My boyfried critisized the type of mom i am because i dotn change my babies diaper through th night. she cosleeps with me and never seems upset cause a wet diaper i wait till shes actually awake or has a full diaper as in i can feel its full then i will wake her, pthewose i wait ti;l shes awake to change. his criticism makes me feel like a bad mom.

I vaguely remember you mentioned in one of your videos that your baby likes to nap in a swing sometimes? I'm considering buying one, which one do you use? :) Thank you!

[@WillowWisteria]

Yes! Just a plain Graco Simple Sway Swing. It’s inexpensive and does its job :)

Thank you so much! 😃

S.O.S - I'm a first time mother and currently co sleeping with my 9 weeks old daughter and breastfeeding her. But she seems to be too attached to my breast. She wants to comfort nurse all night long and will wake up fussing if it's not in. As much as I love breastfeeding her, how do I avoid this sleep association? My back hurts from side lying all night long and I don't want to foster this habit.

Until what age do you co-sleep? I would love to hear more about your approach to sleep from 6 months onwards. My baby is 6.5 months old and i am feeling a lot of pressure not to co sleep with my baby and letting my baby cry it out in order to train them to sleep in their own cot. All this craziness, not to create a "spoiled" child later. I dont know, im really confused! It just feels so wrong to purposefully ignore his cries for me at night.

[@callmeangelic6525]

Well its scientifically proven that the Cry it out method is horrible for infants. Research shows that although babies stop crying their cortisol level remained high after 2 days of the crying while of course moms decreased. We also know children are not able to self soothe until the ages of 4 and 5. Children are born to search for you in their sleep as they are completely dependent on you to live. So usually for co sleeping some would recommend till age three but all children and families are different its whatever works for you and babe. Follow your instincts but also practice safety it will not create a spoiled child but rather a child with a secure attachment who knows you will forever be their when they need you.

[@WillowWisteria]

Beautully stated! Yes yes yes!! 👍🏼❤️

[@WillowWisteria]

I co-sleep until my child gives me the cue that their ready for their own bed. They flat out ask for it. Most of the time that’s around 3 and I’ve never had a problem with them easily transitioning. Sometimes they start off in a crib mattress next to my bed for a little while before they go to their own room. Don’t worry - you cannot spoilt a baby. Period. They need their mama close to survive and thrive. They’ll let you know when they’re ready to graduate to their own bed. Listen to your instincts and intuition ❤️
