Does anyone here co-sleep? My daughter was born Monday at 4:14 am that night she slept fine in her cot in the hospital , but last night being home she would scream bloody murder the moment we set her down . Again tonight . She wants to be laying on my chest or she has a fit . I'm Terrified to co sleep but it might be my only option right now .
@isabellesmomma212, well I guess co sleeping is a lot more popular then what I had thought . That's probably what we will do as well sleeping wise , I'm kind of a heavy sleeper but not nearly as bad as my boyfriend an with my daughter here now I'm much less of a heavy sleeper . I'm a worry wart as it is lol , but I am trying not to worry too much an I'm sure once a couple weeks go by ill feel much better but since it's only been 2 nights my nerves have been sky high worrying lol .
Yes that's exactly how my little one loves to be. Put her on your chest like that an she's out lol . So I guess it's a normal thing atleast ! @jahnessagarcia and yes I am I breastfeeding @sabreycastro1996 an it's definitely easier with her being right there lol especially when you're exhausted , I'm glad I don't have to get up an go make bottles .
I co-sleep with my daughter. She's 7 months right now. When we first brought her home she did sleep in her cradle but I didn't like that so I put her between me and my boyfriend but he almost rolled over on her one night, thank god I'm a light sleeper, so after that we would sleep side ways in the bed, with my daughter up by the headboard, me in the middle and my boyfriend on the other side of me. Now since I'm so use to her sleeping with me that we can lay the right way in bed and she sleep on one side, me in the middle and my boyfriend on his side. I do put a small pillow on one side of her though just in case. Don't worry about it to much though, as moms we always know what our babies are doing, even in sleep. 😊
@lauren5786, when we first brought her home, every night she slept on my chest, she wouldn't sleep any other way. i guess its just a sense of security and warmth, plus skin to skin is really good for newborns. and if you are breastfeeding, co-sleeping is honestly soooo much easier. because im lazy, and all i have to do is turn over and feed her. 🙄 lol
So am I !! I'm sorry he's going through that , I wish him the best an that you guys get to go back to snuggling soon !! @bugmama
Me either i am a snuggler my hubby currently has cancer and can't sleep anywhere comfortably except the couch or chair and it's been 3 months of not sleeping next to him so I feel you completely.
I have one of those as well , was so excited an my little miss doesn't like it lol): she like literally needs to be on top of my chest to be content an once she's there she's out like a light . @my girl3rdbabymiami I'm gonna try to lay her in it again tonight though
Lol my milk just came in today an whew buddy these things are full an messy as can be haha . For my my so has been sleeping in a separate area unless we are in the living room just because I'm too worried about her rolling over or anything , but eventually if I do have to co sleep that's probably what we will do ! I definitely don't like the whole separate sleeping situation @bugmama
I would love to co sleep , I'm just nervous is all but I can't continue getting no sleep at all :( I've tried swaddling but she gets so worked up from crying and screaming that she burns up so I think I may just have to try to safely sleep with her . @am ma_bear13-16 @sabreycastro1996
I'll send you a picture of what we have. I swear it is a miracle
I have one similar to that @bugmama an she wouldn't do that she has to be touching me in some way
The swing I have I got used an didn't realize she would need to be bigger to use it ): I've tried setting her in her bouncer an she didn't like that at all either @lunden_hope so trying to decide if I should buy a smaller swing an see if she'd sleep in that
LOL i remember the soaking factor and am ready to start it all over again. I nursed and wore nursing tanks or bras to bed and usually kept him next to me. My husband slept next to me on the other side.
The first month with both my boys they slept on me or my SO then we switched to the bed. My husband and 3 yr old share a full while me and my 4 month old has the queen to insure there is plenty of room. I've been cosleeping safely for 3 yrs.
How did you sleep ? Like lay him on your chest , next to you , etc? I'm so worried to wear a shirt or anything that may be a suffocating hazard but my boobs are leaking so bad so I have to wear atleast a bra or everything would be soaked lol . @bugmama
i co-sleep. but my daughter is at the point where she falls asleep in the middle of my husband and i, with her blanket. it gets easier. :)
I came from a co sleeping family. I have co slept with my son since he was an infant now he only climbs into bed if he has nightmares. I am going to attempt to not co sleep with this one but we will see what happens.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Haha after a week or so you'll have it figured out. It's alright to worry, your a new mom. I worried about it too in the beginning. Knowing I got a ton more cuddles that way made it easier too. 😀 Now I wake up to a smiling happy baby and it's the best thing ever. 😍
