9 day old not sleeping

Could have written this myself, following along for advice 🤞

Will she sleep next to you? I think it is normal that they Need your presence at that age

You Must Not get a baby of that age into better sleep patterns. She might be clustering, needs to process the day, misses being in your tummy and is scared,

My 4 week old is also doing this, will not sleep in her next to me. Following for advice too ☺️

Ik it's not safe sleep recommended but those first few weeks with my little one I co-slept because it was the only way to get some sleep. She got better around 3 weeks and now at almost 6 weeks will sleep in her next to me with my hand on her chest

I had the same issue with my little bit and have recently started cosleeping. I was worried at first but naturally I think your body knows not to roll. I’ve had no issues cosleeping at all and he settles so much better !

We got some of the love to dream swaddle up suits and they have saved us! He feels more secure so sleeps better in his next to me. I also put the cot sheet inside my top for a few hours before bedtime, that way it smells like me and he feels close to me x

We’ve tried everything but are still struggling with getting him into the bedside cot so have been co sleeping for our own sanity!

Midwives and health visitors have reassured us this is normal as your hormones change in the evening and your milk gets fattier to give them extra calories overnight. It’s all biologically and developmentally normal!

Find what works for you, if that’s shift sleeping or bed sharing as long as you’re getting enough sleep to function and are doing it safely I think this stage is just survival!

Literally going through the same thing right now, my little one is 10 days old. I’m sorry I have no advice but I fully sympathise 🩷 hang in there, you’re doing great! Xx

My first took 8 weeks to sleep on a flat surface in the day, let alone the night 😅 My second (6 days old today) is yet to grace his crib too and I have a feeling he won’t any time soon. It’s exhausting but it doesn’t last forever ❤️ is there anyone you can swap between during the night? my husband and I do 3 hours on, 3 hours off and each watch Netflix/listen to podcasts etc whilst we cuddle baby. We keep trying to lay him down in the earlier half of the night, but keeping expectations super low 😂 best of luck, it will be better in time! X

Next to me crib is a life saver, baby can still hear/acknowledge youe presence

But tbh i know it's naughty but I bought her a cosleep bed, its like a little raised pillow so I wont roll onto it, and it has slight raised sides so she wont roll off it. Works wonders for my 3 week old
