    We can’t bed share because my baby is formula fed? Explain

    @rlp21858 I never heard about breast feeding creating lighter sleep. But i have heard that the mother Infant Dyad is more synchronized when breast feeding. So the hormones get in a rhythm with the feeding schedule, so her wake up times are synced with the babies wake/feed cycles

    Those who had a C-section, what were you able to do for baby while recovering from surgery?
