Newborn and sleep

You've got this. The worry unfortunately doesnt go away but, your momma instincts kick in as soon as the baby moves. Get you some rest.

As long as you’re following safe sleep, you have nothing to worry about. Babies have very strong protective reflexes that prevent them from choking on spit up when they sleep. Baby will be okay!

Yes its so hard! Dont blame yourself its your brain and hormones. It'll get easier.

Absolutely! It is difficult but it does get easier. Oscar sleeps in the next to me with the side down. Gives me a piece of mind knowing I can see and touch him

Yep absolutely, I think this is totally normal - the adrenaline will wear off shortly and you’ll be able to sleep, promise xx

Yes! It will get easier. I hardly slept the first few weeks when I was on shift because every noise scared me. Babies are a lot more resilient than we think. As mentioned above, they are born with really strong protective abilities. Your baby will be just fine! I’m only 5 weeks pp and I already laugh at some of the things that scared me. 💕

Sleep when the bsby sleeps is the worst advice ever and really irritates me.
That first week was awful for me I couldn’t fall asleep at all even though i was absolutely exhausted. I actually thought i
would end up in hospital or something. It definitely got easier though. I white noise machine helped me but also having the next to me on my partner’s side so his snoring blocks out some of the baby’s noises. Had no idea they were such noisy sleepers. We only did this after the first couple weeks though. X

I felt the same. I constantly checked to make sure he was okay and breathing throughout the night. I also got the Eufy sock to also have a piece of mind
