Is it possible to bf and NOT cosleep?

Did any of your bfed babies sleep in a crib/away from you at nights?
How did you manage that?

Thanks.

Lots of gettin up and down during the night. A real PITA.
Or give up and brign the baby in the bed in the middle of
the night.

Easy, get up and feed the baby.

LOL, of course. All three of my babies slept in a bassinet at the end of our
bed until they were roughly about six months of age, at that time they
started sleeping through the night (most nights, it was hit and miss for a
while) they transitioned to their crib. It wasn't a huge PITA like Larry
says, because I had to get up anyway. Unless you can nurse lying down,
which not everyone can then you wouldn't have to get up, but then you might
as well co-sleep. But, yes it can be done.

Yes, certainly. However, I find it much easier to co-sleep and nurse in bed.
I think if you are going to do that, you must learn to nurse lying down
while the baby is still newborn. My middle child wouldn't do it (I started
too late) and had to nurse sitting up in bed and it got really tiresome.
This time around, I started nursing while lying right away and it's by far
his favorite place to nurse (mine too, lol)

Yes I never co-slept with my twins - just got up and fed them when they
wanted feeding.

Although if I could have figured out how to co-sleep comfortably with twins
I probably would have done.

You prop yourself up with the babies under you and go to sleep on your
knees and elbows. Seriously, I don't kwow how.

Don't think I didn't think about that Larry ))

Sure. My babies were in cradles in our room for
the first several months (4-8, depending on the child) and
then in cribs in their own rooms after that. The first
two were breastfed for 15 months, the last is still going
at 8 months. You just have to go get the baby to feed
him or her. It's perhaps less convenient, but it's
certainly doable.
