Sleeping in cot

Do you put him down when he’s in a deep sleep? My baby was so sleepy and always went down at first but as she got older I had to wait until she’d been asleep at least 20 minutes and in a deep sleep (floppy arms) before I’d try and put her in her cot or she would just wake up. Might have had to do this a few times at first! I’m sure all babies are very different though x

My first was an amazing sleeper at first now not so much I found it much easier to use a baby nest on the bed ofc put on the inner part of the bed soon they can't roll off
But it took off a lot of pressure and when she woke up at night she would feel me and immediately go back to sleep, I save many hours of sleep like this which helps me function better during the day

Sometimes changing how we see it helps x
You won't be spoiling him by sharing a bed with him or continuing to hold him trust me X it's a myth X

But also imagine when we used to sleep outside and there would be predators, it wouldn't be safe for baby to sleep alone and sometimes instincts like these are built into some children more than others.

Letting him sleep with you in a nest, NEVER in between you and dad btw, always closest to the wall and you beside them, is a huge relief 😮‍💨,
Immediately from day one you'll be woken up less or less cries, and if you are putting him down before you, it's much easier to move yourself and go back to bed when you're ready than to move him. X
