    Position of baby after side-lying breast feed?

    Hi there, Iā€™m new to this subreddit but very glad I found it! I have a 5 week old baby who can last in their bassinet until about 4/5am and then usually Cosleeps with me after that.

    Anxiety/Guilt

    My baby is 8 weeks old and we've been bed sharing for about a week now. I, like so many of you swore I'd never do it and that I'd never be so selfish. Well... then I had a newborn and realized I had no clue what l was talking about. The sleep deprivation was making me so angry and miserable I...

    How to navigate physical intimacy with s/o when contact napping + cosleeping?

    My baby is 6 weeks old and Iā€™ve been focused on caring for him and my own physical recovery from a very intense birthing experience. But! The desire for physical intimacy with my partner is coming back and I have no clue as to how weā€™ll navigate that with the baby always napping and sleeping on...
