Sleeping without my baby as a mom who’s always co slept since the very beginning

Hi! So I’m a teen mom and hadn’t been able to afford a crib or a toddler bed for my son for a long time, I just co slept because it eased my mind and I loved the snuggles. We’ve been growing up together and he’s like my little bestie. My son has also been sleeping through the night since he was about 6 months old and I’ve found he wakes up less with me. I have a co parenting schedule with my baby daddy and I find it really hard to sleep without my 15 month old. Is this just me? Am I holding on too tight? I know i shouldn’t always go to my son for comfort because I don’t want him to think he needs to take care of me at a young age that’s not what this is but am I crazy?

4am wake up

My baby is 9 weeks old and wakes up by 4am every single day, she will fall asleep on me around 5.30 but won’t settle back in her cot. When will this phase pass and is there anything I can do to push it later? She has her last big feed at 1am so she shouldn’t be hungry.

Co sleeping

How are you getting you bub to co sleep with you? My LO is just struggling to sleep and so am I. I desperately need sleep but she wouldn't sleep on the bed. She just lays awake and then cries. Even contact naps. I have to be standing and walking for her to sleep. If I sit or lay, she wakes up and cries.

Help!!

Alarms for feeding

My little one is 7 weeks old now and I’m just wondering if others are still setting alarms for wake ups and feeds or just following their LOs lead? My LO has gained weight well just feel nervous to let him sleep and not have a feeding schedule of any sort?

Drinking and breastfeeding

What’s your experience having a drink or two while breastfeeding? I had almost 3 drinks tonight and can’t decide if I need to pump and dump. I have enough to just dump it out but idk if that’s the right thing? Pls lmk

Struggling tonight

my just turned 4 month old has woke up 9 times since 8:30pm (currently 1:50am)😵‍💫 never had such a bad night before I’m exhausted.

Anyone else going through this?

Trust gone or over reacting?

So my partner already has children and this is my first just turned a month out. LO is a month old and the wind he has been suffering with lately is awful!! Barely settled in the day. I do all night time routine and my partner sleeps has done since day one. So last night my partner said he will stay up with him about 9;30 pm as he is a night owl anyway and will bring LO up when he comes up to let me get a bit of sleep. I said to bring him up as soon as he shouts or drops off, I'm am against co sleeping and we also have two cats who think baby is a warm snuggly friend. I have just woken up at 1:30 to no baby in the room gone downstairs and he is a sleep on sofa with LO set up between pillows next to him!! At his feet I am so cross as it's so unsafe and my partner jumps about in his sleep, let alone perfect spot for the cats to get on top of baby trying to cuddle him!. I brought baby straight upstairs and went back down to wake my partner so he didn't freak out when he woke up and there was no baby. His response I've only been asleep two hours and Im already a parent and have more experience then you. Am I right to be fuming with him? Feel like he has broken my trust with baby
