Cosleeping babies and daytime naps

Where do your babies nap? We started cosleeping (following safe cosleep recommendations so please no hate) a couple of weeks after turning 6 months because he suddenly started waking up every 1/2 hours at night. We sleep much better now, but daytime naps are still contact (have always been cause he wakes up when transferred) and i could do with some time to be able to cook/ tidy/ exercise... so cosleeping mums, how does your LO naps? Xx

This will only likely be helpful if breastfeeding as dont think you can feed a bottle laying down (could be wrong) but we lay on the bed and feed in laying position then i carefully peel her off me (she grips my clothes) and sneak out. I only get 20-25 mins as she feed sleeps some of it. But its something. Otherwise we are the sane contact or buggy or car all of which i cant do anything apart from go online shopping on my phone 😂

Baby sleep

My little girl is 9 months old now and has never been a good sleeper. She is now going through a phase of getting up at 4 am every morning and I try keeping things dark and boring but she is so awake for the day.
She goes to bed around 7pm. Has 2 naps a day. 1 nap - 1hr20 ish, 2 nap - 30 mins ish.
She is a childminders in the day so I can’t control her naps but I wish she would sleep in abit more but feel like I’m just banging my head against a brick wall. Any one else experience and was it ever resolved?

Stepdaughter sent over without underwear

She’s 9 . We went shopping for her and she asked me to check the size of the shorts she had on, I noticed she wasn’t wearing any underwear. As a bio mom to my own little girl, this is concerning to me. Am I thinking too much into it?

I’ve purchased for her underwear and training bras (which she wasn’t wearing either) she said her mom didn’t wash laundry so she didn’t have any.

Owlet Sock

Does anyone here use the Owlet sock? I got it, but my little one got really annoyed when we first tried putting it on her, and now at 15 days old, I haven’t really re-attempted to put it on her.

How to get baby back to sleep?

She used to feed to sleep and I used to be able to just put the baby on my chest and she'd fall asleep. Now she will wake up from the bottle and will claw and fight as if she's doing tummy time. The tricky part is she must be upright after feeds because of her reflux so I can't really be moving her about. I can't keep doing this fight at 3am waiting for her to wear herself out to sleep. We've tried white noise rich she doesn't respond to. Swaddles stopped working after 2 months (she's 3 months now).

Any advice??

Sleeping position

Anyone else’s baby sleep like this? He can roll back to front but not the other way round but every time I put him to sleep on his back he always ends up like this. I hardly sleep because I’m forever turning him back over or listening to see if he’s breathing. He literally fidgets all night now too
