Answer

"The baby sleeps with her mother" or "The baby shares a bed with her mother" are your best bet. Context and basic human decency will allow the listener to understand you mean those in a literal sense, and not the sexual slang meaning.

Answer

Thank you so much Riah.

Answer

If what you're trying to say is that the mother is with her baby in the mothers bed then you could just write "the mother is nursing the sleeping baby in her own bed"
