I swore we'd never do this, but I'm strongly considering cosleeping. LO is only 4 days old but seems extraordinarily fussy. He will fall asleep on me after breastfeeding, and on DH once he's successful enough to calm him down (usually takes an hour+ to do so). Then before you know it it's time to nurse again. It's exhausting and we haven't even been doing it that long. Our hospital made a big deal about not falling asleep with the baby on you, so we're paranoid. Seems the only way to get even an hour of sleep is cosleeping.

But I only ever hear that this is dangerous, and I don't know if this us too young of an age to even consider it. Does cosleeping sound like a good option? If you did/do it, how did you make it work and still keep baby safe?

I should add we have tried swaddles - miracle blanket, Aden blankets, and swaddle me - the swing, the rock n play, white noise, shushing, and nothing works. He fusses and fusses and eventually gets do upset he starts wailing and can't be settled. So I end up just putting him on my boob. Less than ideal..

We have a ped appointment tomorrow so we're going to mention it - he's very gassy (I can constantly hear his stomach rumble and he farts all the time) and I wonder if he has silent reflux because he does this hiccupy upchuck thing but never spits up - so we may be able to resolve things another way.
