Contact naps

I hope this doesn’t come across as negative because it’s not intended to be. I was stuck with contact napping 5 times a day, every hour and a half and it really really got me down. Every post I saw on contact napping always had a comment saying ‘enjoy it, it won’t last forever’. Which may be true for some but I truly was not enjoying it past the new born stage. My LO has been able to sleep in his own next to me for naps now for about a month and my feelings are still the same. Every time I put him down, Im do grateful I get to do SOMETHING. Whether that be eating a meal, cleaning, watching tv alone 😂, getting dressed, showering, napping…. The list can go on. We’ve also been able to go to sensory class because I can actually get dressed, pack his bag and set up his pram whilst he sleeps. I now by choice do the morning nap as contact in the sling as I’ve adapted my morning to it and to give my LO a longer nap. I guess this is just to say, it’s okay if you don’t enjoy them at the moment and you don’t have to look at the brighter side. It can be very debilitating and crap. But, You will get there soon ❤️
