help!
earlier today, my daughter was sleeping on my chest, and she stopped breathing for a good few seconds, since then, she has been awake, and won't fall asleep unless I'm holding her. I try to put her down, even on my lap and she won't fall asleep unless I'm holding her... we've been feeding her more and more, I can't pump anything else.. I want to fall asleep with her because that is literally the only way she's sleeping but my SO is against that, and pulls the whole "if something happens to her, you'll never forgive yourself" card... meaning, everyone has been fussing at me for sleeping with her before saying that what if I roll over on her and suffocate her...
so now, I'm downstairs, in the recliner watching TV to NOT fall asleep because I'm tired of everyone judging me for sleeping with my child when she doesn't sleep...
please, someone help me out.

I actually have that, but she doesn't like hers... she hates her arms bring covered and its uncomfortable for her to have her arms out in that. she freaks out every time I put her in it :( @brittann94 @iqrahp5
I have a very picky baby lol

@countyourblessings05, trust it gets better... Just give yourself time .. I do recommend a brand of swaddles called swaddle me lol like the lady above said.. They are sooooo super easy to wrap your little girl in... It's Velcro . Total life saver

Ohhhhh ok now do you swaddle her still????? That's great for sleeping . And also you're a new mom and he's a new dad I'm assuming so it's going to be bad anxiety... Please just breathe you'll get use to it... But try to let her sleep on her own swaddled.....

I'm the same way with my daughter if I hear a peep I wake up. I'd give them the middle finger, it's your child do what you want to do.

@iqrahp5, she won't sleep in the swing. we've tried to put her in the swing and she wakes up instantly screaming until I pick her up.

@monsterbuttsmomma, that is exactly how I sleep with her. I wake up that way with her.
I don't move, and if she makes a sound or move, I instantly wake up.

I'd say fuck those people who are giving you grief. I have a two week old who was in the NICU for four days after birth so when she came home she didn't wanna leave me, I slept with her on my chest and nothing happen, I even let her sleep next to me on her back and I'd just wrap my arm around her so I knew not to move that way. But when I put her down for a nap she'll sleep on her own. Just takes a while. They have little bed things you can buy for your baby to sleep in bed with you and you can't roll over on then I forget what it's called tho

you can sleep with her just if you know the way you sleep. if you move a lot then no you can't but if you don't move a lot then you can. simple. my husband moves a lot so I make sure my son isn't near him.
