For those of you who don't know. I am a massive advocate of bed sharing. It has hands down saved my sleep and my sanity.

Bed sharing is not for everyone but what many don't know, is that though most new breastfeeding mothers today don’t plan to bed share, studies show that eventually 60 to 75 percent of them will, at least some of the time.

I want to make sure you are doing so safely.

The ‘Safe Seven’ bedsharing Song created by La Leche League.

(sing to yourself to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)

No smoke, sober mom

Baby at your breast

Healthy baby on his back

Keep him lightly dressed.

Not too soft a bed

Watch the cords and gaps

Keep the covers off his head

For your nights and naps
