Help, sleep deprived and full of cold!

Hey,
the Vicks humidifier (with the scent pads taken out) from Argos and saline nasal spray, the one with the picture of the dolphin and a snot sucker helped our 3 week old twin babies with congestion and boogers.

I lay my son on his side, making sure his arm is out in front of him so it makes it hard for him to roll on his front and he seems more settled that way.

Another thing, the twins didn’t like the next to me because the mattresses were cold so try putting a hot water bottle on it to warm it up.

Just some tips that worked for us! Take the advice you’ve learnt from health visitors and the hospital but you know what’s best for your baby xx

Safe chest sleeping is possible. Happy co sleeper on Instagram has a how to guide. Avoid lots of pillows, just a couple behind your back. Ale sure the bed is otherwise empty so that if she rolls off your chest there's no hazzards

Great advise above. Its completely normal and instinctive your baby wants that closeness while she's poorly, I know you need rest too. With my daughter she slept like this and although health visitors won't reccomend sleeping with her on you I think instinctively most parents I know have done it, as a mother lean into your instincts and intuition as you are, theres part of you that doesn't fully switch off when baby goes to sleep now, you'll be surprised even when your shattered how you will wake up at the slightest thing. Also, this will pass and once shes better you can continue to work on her routine and working with your partner to take it in turns to settle her x

Owh and definitely don’t let her sleep between you and ur husband… just buy a bed rail put it on ur side and put the baby still next to you
