Co sleeping with MIL

Is it okay for my 3 month old baby to co sleep on the same bed with MIL? Sometimes I've got to work and ill send baby over to MIL's place. She prefers co sleeping with LO on the same bed even though there's a baby crib specially for him. What are your thoughts? #1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls

Definitely ok. It's easier for her too, to soothe baby when he cries. My mum used to co sleep with 2 of my children when they were babies and things were so much easier for her. She can pat them w/o getting up from bed. But if she were to leave him, to shower etc, best to put him on his bed

It's Alright if the bed is king size and the baby is at the centre of the bed. elevate the baby like put her on a small baby mattress on that bed to make sure your MIL does not squeeze her by accident
