    Position of baby after side-lying breast feed?

    Hi there, I’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. I’ve caught myself falling asleep whilst feeding in the C curl position. Is it safe for the baby to fall asleep...

    I’m so jealous - Rant

    I’m so jealous of the moms who can go out to date nights or dinners etc and have someone watch their baby. I think cosleeping is amazing but I’m on lockdown with my 14.5 month old. He wakes up every 30 min -2hrs MAX 3. And he’ll only go back to sleep if I nurse him. That being said I can’t leave...

    Co sleep with 2 year old and newly pregnant. I’m terrified for the future

    Pretty much what the title says. I have co slept and breast fed to sleep my 22 month old since she was 2 months old. She still sleeps in the baby wrap for her nap as well. I just found out that I am pregnant and I’m so scared. I love having my toddler in the bed with me and I don’t want to stop...

    1 Y.O. wants to sleep with us, but doesn't want to be cuddled??

    Like, how does this make sense? You want to take up room in our bed, but DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME. He literally pushes my hand away if I touch him while he's sleeping. Frankly, I'm feeling a little used! I never get cuddle time anymore, only toddler feet in my ribs or face. How is this fair?

    Self soothing and co sleeping

    I had a call with a sleep coach today to discuss getting my little one (1 y/o) in some sort of routine as her naps and wake ups are all over the place, and she advised it’s not possible to have a routine with a baby that can’t self soothe. Has anyone had any experience with this? My little one...

    Question around social situations

    I find myself struggling on having friends over because if they stay past when my baby (8 months) goes to sleep I’m not sure what to do. My baby and I go to bed at the same time. I am able to roll away once he’s asleep but we are on an actual bed and I’m afraid if he wakes up, that he’ll try and...

    Pediatrician said baby sleep is abnormal

    I have a 6 month old who has never been a great sleeper. I work full time (so does Dad) so he has been in daycare for the last two months. Naps vary there but aren’t always super great. His last nap usually ends around 2:15pm. By the time we pick him up, get him home, he’s ready to go to...

    I did it. I told my ped.

    He asked how my little one was sleeping. I was honest and said he nurses all night. I mentioned that he’s in our shared bed now. He said, “Oh no!” My stomach dropped. Then he told us, “Just as long as he’s out of your bed by high school.” 💀😂 Mind you, my little one is 15 months. We’ve been...

    Bedsharing Question

    Hi, I have 5 month old who I’ve been bedsharing with since they were about 2 weeks old. Also, 95% of their naps are contact naps. I am slowly working on transitioning naps to being in the pack n play/crib and eventually will start to work on nighttime being in the bassinet/crib. I don’t want to...

    do you tell your pediatrician?

    for those of you who bedshare, do you tell the pediatrician or just lie/omit that info? at LO’s last checkup (at 6mo) the Ped asked, as she always does, in kind of a stern way, if baby sleeps “alone in her own crib, on a firm mattress.” we started bedsharing at 4 months after struggling with the...

    My baby can’t sleep without my nipple in her mouth and I’m losing my sanity

    Her sleep was very manageable - pack n play next to our bed with 1 or 2 nightly wakeups, and then at 6am or so I’d move her to the bed with me for the final few hours. Then we took a month long trip to my in-laws in another state and she could NOT sleep there. We had to fall asleep next to her...

    6mo hasn’t slept longer than 1.5 - 2 hour blocks overnight for 8 weeks

    I am honestly not coping. My PP rage is out of control and I wake up most mornings crying out of desperation for more sleep. We travelled 8 weeks ago with him and we were away for 6 weeks in my home country and kept a normal routine, but since around the time we left his sleep has been f**ked...

    Baby cannot connect cycles

    Hi everyone! We cosleep and contact nap with my 6 mo boy. We nurse him to sleep and he sleeps 3-4 hours in 3-4 naps every day. Unfortunately, he cannot connect cycles, so if I want him to sleep more than 20-30 min, I need to do contact naps and nurse every 30 min. I love the snuggles but I...
