Accidentally falling asleep
So one night I was holding my newborn in the bed with my arm over him gently. He was safely in between me and my husband and all three of us fell asleep. When I woke up none of us had moved an inch. I didn’t sleep for very long, but I felt relief that my husband didn’t move either.
When I was 10 my sister was born, at one point she managed to completely topple her crib to the ground and it broke, so my mom made me keep her in my bed until she got it fixed. I used to toss and turn in my sleep, but that first night with my little sister curled up next to me, I never moved in my sleep ever again.
So I was glad that neither me or my husband moved while our baby was there. And that was just one time thing. But I am a little worried. Almost every time I breastfeed him, I pass out cold still holding him. I sleep lightly while I’m near him, but does that wear off? How do y’all stay awake while breastfeeding?
Is it okay to fall asleep, knowing I won’t drop him? I don’t want to fall asleep too deeply.
