I need some advice on recovery post c-section and she will only sleep if placed on me or sometimes rarely my partner. I got no sleep last night and we tried everything so please send over some advice!!

Look up safe cosleeping and chest sleeping.
It’s super biologically normal that she only wants to sleep on you so just research how to do it safely so you can sleep too!

You need to co-sleep to get sleep.

I have coslept with all 3 of my babies. It was/is the only way we get sleep. Safe sleep7 rules on Google are helpful.

Congratulations 🥰 my youngest was the same, I had an emergency section, I spent no joke 4 weeks sleeping on the sofa propped up with him on me as that was the only way he slept. I understand the fear you have some co sleeping but I was always semi conscious of him being on me and it helped us both

congratulations!! hope your healing goes well! 🩷🩷
