A pillow between your knees helps with hip pain :)
You know your baby and yourself and there’s lots of guidance but i literally take it as guidance and not hard rules. I start in this position and it hurts so halfway through the night I sleep side by side with my LG - my face at the same level as her body so if I roll my head will touch her body first - if that makes sense? But I know I don’t roll and I wake up every 3 hours to look at her anyway it’s like internal body clock alarm! 🙈
@Kirsty thank you for replying, honestly that’s why I do it on an off cause it’s so uncomfortable, but my son has been so hard to settle this last week so I’ve had to just have him on the bed with me. I know I deffo won’t roll as I’m a side sleep and litterally wake up in the same position I fall asleep in. Just worried that if I’m super tired I’ll switch sides and have my back too close to him as he tends to shuffle towards me. I’m ebf so wake up every 2 hours to feed, I’ll try what you are doing and hopefully I can sleep as peacefully as my son 😂🤍
@lyns Thankyou lol this takes me all the way back to being pregnant and sleeping on the left side 😂
Cosleeping is such a dirty word but 3/4 of the world’s population do it and as long as I know I’m safe I love co sleeping I feel like we have this incredible bond waking up to her giggles and smiles in the morning! Good luck with it I hope he settles better soon ❤️ I don’t know if this helps you but sometimes I sleep on two pillows so my head isn’t resting on my shoulder as much and then don’t get a dead arm 😂 sometimes I wake up to feed and my arm is dead and can’t pick my baby up 🙈
