What is it that is stopping you from sleeping at the same time with your partner? Worried baby will wake them? We both sleep in our bedroom with baby next to me in a Moses basket x
I’m so sorry, I assume this is because baby will only sleep on you/parter? This was us with our first and it’s not safe I’m afraid. I was so scared of cosleeping but being on the sofa for hours with baby on you is SO much more dangerous, you’re way more likely to fall asleep which can be an entrapment risk. Check out Cosleepy on insta, join the Co-Sleepers UK group on fb, look up Lullaby trust and fully educate yourself on cosleeping. Kick other half out to the sofa bed/spare bedroom. Have the whole bed for you and baby and get some good sleep! If not and baby is downstairs in their own bed then 100% get them in your room ♥️ This current set up can’t continue, you’ll burn out xx
We’re doing the exact same as you. I’m going up to bed around 8/9pm to get a solid block and my partner keeps my baby downstairs with him and does ‘the last feed’ around 10pm and I’ll continue the wake ups from there; as he has to be up for work at 5:30. The next to me crib is on my side of the bed and my partner sleeps with ear plugs so he doesn’t hear too much in the night. When baby does start to unsettle I take him down, change feed and then make sure he’s asleep before going back up to bed myself. Normally an hour or so process x
So why not get a next to me crib so that way you both can sleep upstairs and then the baby is in a crib next to the bed
