do you even exist?! I haven't had sex with my hubby since baby was born (5 months ago...). my baby WON'T sleep in a crib more than 5 minutes, and we live with more people in the house, so our only option is the bedroom. We don't have much support, and only my mom has watched him for a couple of hours a few times, but she lives far from us. I don't know what to do anymore, we both definitely need it!! please share your tips or advice

We do daytime dates. We have someone watch the baby for about an hour-two hours. It helps a lot, also sometimes when baby is napping we can have a quickie

We live in our own apartment so after our kid goes to sleep we go into a different room. 🤷♀️

Was gonna say, normally itd be an activity for outside of the bedroom when you cosleep, but not really an option when you share a living space!
Defo try what Lisa said and do day time dates and quickies

Wait until baby is happy and content enough to be put down for tummy time, in a bouncer etc. face them the opposite way and do what you need. Baby doesn’t necessarily have to be sleep. My son was (and still is) good for waking up as soon as we even looked in each others direction

We bed-share at night but on the good nights we get 1-4 hours of him sleeping in his crib alone (lately it’s more like 30 minutes max) this is the time we would leverage. As others have said too daytime naps are a good time too. Shit grab every pillow you have boarder that baby up in the bed and do it on the floor real quick haha 🤣
