Putting baby down when awake

I have always put my baby to bed at night awake. He’s in a next to me so i’m only a touch away. But he lies there awake for a while just looking around. Sometimes I do feel bad for him so I’ve recently just bought a projector for the ceiling and he seems to like watching that as he drifts off to sleep. But I can assure you they’re fine. Unless they’re upset or crying they are fine. And in my mind I only do it so he’s used to be alone for sleep so it’s hopefully abit easier transferring to his own room! 🫶🏻

I feel exactly the same! I feel like when my baby is awake I need to be with them and be doing things, talking to her, singing, tummy time etc. I prefer to do things with she’s asleep. My baby very rarely lays by herself awake and is content, she’s either crying for food or unsettled and needs settling to sleep. I do understand how you feel as I feel exactly the same! The guilt that I’m not interacting with her xx

As someone with an extremely fussy baby, he will let you know if he is bored. He’s probably content looking at lights etc.
If he’s happy, go with it! And enjoy! From a very envious mum 😅

Thanks everyone 🩷

I feel the exact same I was doing washing and stuff the other day and felt so guilty like I’m being a shit mum not giving her all
