Did I make a bad decision?

I went out and bought this thing called "The Snuggle Nest" and it's basically a little bed for Gregory that I can have in the bed with me and it's supposed to keep him close by, but he can still sleep in the bed with us.

My initial reason buying this was because I have been sleeping with him at night and I usually cuddle him close to me and I seriously think that sometimes I might smother him on accident or something like that in my shirt on accident or something and I would feel completely horrible if I woke up and he wasn't breathing or something. I don't know if I'd be able to live with myself if that happened...

Anyway, I'm reading reviews from people who had one and didn't use it because one, it was too big for their queen size bed (we have a queen bed) and/or it was hard to feed him in the middle of the night without taking him out of the bed. To be honest, Gregory doesn't really do the whole "lay-on-your-side" feeding approach because he never latches on right. I usually get up and sit with him in the chair anyway...so that will not bother me one bit to take him out of the little bed. I don't think it'll bother me too much. I usually take reviews with a grain of salt anyway because if I like it, that's all that matters...and I think this will be a great benefit to us.

Here's some pictures from the website of babies using them...


This is the one that I bought...that baby is so cute sleeping in there (in my opinion)...he reminds me of Gregory sleeping.


Here's an older version of it (I think), but the baby looks so giggly and happy...I can't wait for Gregory to start getting giggly and smile like that. He's so close!

Speaking of Gregory...here he is!


This was as close as I could get him to smiling in his new bed...he's almost there!


He was sitting on the couch today...so confused!


haha...I just think he looks funny in this one!

Okay...I'm gonna go to bed now...I've got a splitting headache and it's probably from not getting enough sleep.

aww! he looks so close to smiling! hopefully in the next week or so. He has gotten the shocked and confused looks down packed, hehe. very cute none the less.

I got the blue one with the stars and moons on it. I don't use mine very much. Like your reason, I have to get up to breastfeed. Now it fits okay in our queen size bed. So I wouldn't say it was a bad decision to get one. If it keeps them safe, I'm all for it. Gregory is so cute in those pictures. I have taken some more of Ethan that I will post later on. Take Care

I think that it's not a bad idea after all since you're going to have him in bed.. it would be easier for you to wake up when he wakes up in the middle of the night.

thats something i never saw or heard about, but baby girl doesn't sleep on her back either. if i ever let her sleep in the bed with me it was during the day when we'd nap and i'd put her in the boppy and sort of curl around it useing as part of my pilow. i just sleep to hard in the night to be comfortable with having her in the bed with me. but this would definatly be better than him being used to sleeping up against you because that will be alot harder to break once your ready for him to sleep in his own bed

Am I the only one who didn't sleep on my parent's bed as a baby? :/

I have a queen sized bed and sure it will cut down on your space, but you're have to be pretty big for there to be not enough room.
