On rough nights, out of desperation, I have tried to co-sleep with both my babies, but alas, the only way they would stay calm and fall asleep was in our arms as we were standing and swinging them back and forth while jiggling them up and down at the same time. (Sweating like crazy.) So many people have told me "just bring them into the bed with you".... I've tried, trust me!! I've even tried sitting up in bed with them in my arms, swinging and jiggling like crazy, and they still hated it. I had to be standing and doing major cardiovascular activity.
So I'm so confused as to how co-sleeping works!!! Where do you sleep? Where does baby sleep? How do you hold baby while sleeping? Are they soothed just by you being near / touching them?? I wish this was an option for us on those rough nights!!!
