Newborn sleep

I’ve co-slept with both my babies. It’s the most natural thing in the world. Nature didn’t design babies to be in cots away from you, babies don’t realise you’re a seperate person hence they want to be close to you.

Co-sleeping isn’t for everyone but I get far more rest and sleep this way and my babies have been happier x

I'm co-sleeping at the moment. I spoke to our health visitor about it & she was really reassuring. I think lots of parents do it in the early weeks to help manage the fourth trimester & cluster feeding

Oh yes! Co sleeping is way more natural, and the only way to get any sleep at all sometimes. I did it with my first born and now been trying to get our newborn in her Moses basket as much as possible… it’s tough!! My thoughts are that the more you put them in there the more they should get used to it. So currently I’m doing both… abit of co sleeping and trying to get her in her Moses basket as much as I can. Even short little spurts I guess! We are all in the same boat! Hang in there mummies!! 🩷

I’m co sleeping currently, with my 5 day old who’s deep into her cluster feeding, first bit of sleep I’ve had at night since having her next to me as when I try out her in her next to me I have 5 mins max before she starts fussing, she’s been asleep next to me for 2 hours now hahahah, it’s not for everyone and I always said I would never do it but I love it and so does she hahaha xx

sometimes it’s the only way you and baby can be fully rested. just make sure you do research on how to safely co sleep, i’ve been co sleeping on and off with my 3 week old, sometimes he likes his bassinet sometimes he doesn’t. i do try and put him in there as much as possible but if he starts crying or fussing i feel horrible if i don’t pick him up and let him sleep on me😭 we’re all in this together, millions, maybe billions of women do this. you got this x

We are co-sleeping as little dude doesn’t want to be away from me. He’s in his Moses basket until he starts to cry/fuss, and then I let him sleep in my pregnancy pillow next to me so he has a safe barrier where no one can roll on him.

You’ve got this, do what feels right for you. We didn’t plan to co-sleep but little one didn’t want to be away from us so we’re making it work and we are all sleeping better for it xx
