My baby is 12 months. Can I fall asleep with her in my arms now?

@markeita I’ve been doing this lately with my 13 mo who has been sick and congested. floor bed but I will prop him up in my arms head against my shoulder. No extra pillows and the one under my head tucked just barely under my head to the side he’s on. He rolls away when he’s had enough and it lightly wakes me up so it feels ok. I would personally not do extra pillows to prop when they are mobile but that’s just a gut feeling

@pshreve thank you! this is helpful. i tried this position but she really just wanted to lay in my lap. i'll try again though

@markeita See if you can find a position that she accepts to fall asleep but isn’t super comfy for her so she rolls away

@pshreve haha! ugh see my problem is that she is fine to roll away, but then she'll just fidget and reposition herself over and over again like she's uncomfortable. On nights like these, she just seems like she's in too much discomfort to sleep anywhere other than in mine or her dad's arms
