In bed with baby...going mad
Ladies any advice as I'm going absolutely crazy here??? Iv always been told.. never sleep in the same bed as baby as it's dangerous but honestly these past few days if I didn't, i think I would have gone crazy last night for example he woke up at midnight.... and then refused to go to sleep again in his cot but as soon as soon as he was in Bed with me he was out like a light.. I have no idea what's wrong with him as he used to be so good at sleeping on his own I can't sleep in Bed with him every night as I can't settle and sleep with him next to me because I'm scared I'm going to hurt him so please ladies what can I do to help my little boy sleep again ?
Could have wrote this myself! I've ended up having to put Quinn in with us for a few nights now. He woke up that many times last night in his cot. I'm hoping it's just a phase tbh because im not really comftable with him sleeping with us. My OH keeps moaning at me for it but easy for him to say when he's not the one who is up hundred times a night trying to settle him in his cot xx
Thsnkyou so much ladies honestly you have really out my mind at ease I was just terrified I was going to roll over onto him xx
I co sleep with Harrison.. He used to sleep fine in his Moses basket and some nights I was just too tired to put him back after a night feed so put him next to me. Now since about 2/3 months old he won't sleep unless he's in my bed? I do keep trying but honestly I wouldn't be functioning if I persevered as he cries for ages when I try and put him in his cot. As long as you do it safely there's no problem, do what works for you x
Ok there are ways to ensure safe co-sleeping/bed sharing definitely.
Beds sharing is as safe as babies sleeping in a cot if you follow the guidelines ?.
Soo...bedding should be tight fitting to the mattress and sleep surface should be firm so no memory foam mattress toppers etc
Do not sleep with baby if you are currently a smoker or if you smoked during pregnancy – this greatly increases SIDS risk.
Do not sleep on the same surface as your baby if you have ingested alcohol/sedatives/drugs (or any substance that makes you less aware).
Do not swaddle your baby when bed-sharing. Baby may overheat (which is a risk factor for SIDS) and a swaddled baby is not able to effectively move covers from the face or use arms and legs to alert an adult who is too close.
Other potential hazards: very long hair should be tied up.
The mattress should be tight fitting to the headboard. I have side rails too that are tight and secure under the mattress.
There should not be any loose pillows, stuffed animals, or soft blankets near the baby’s face.
There should not be any space between the bed and adjoining wall where the baby could roll and become trapped.
So as long as you follow the rules then there's no safety issue x
My hv gave me the safest way of having them in bed with you, in the middle no quilt just blanket ( she said for me to just layer up and something light over me )as the main risk is them over heating. She also said to cup your body round them as if y are protecting them in a Cshape. U need some rest and if it means in bed with you then just make sure it's as safe as poss x
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...
Hey! So before I freak out and call his pediatrician, I'm going to take this to you guys first bc I know I'm overreacting.
So Brian isn't sleeping well, and he's super fussy. He's been up every hour since last night, and when he is in his bed he fusses and doesn't sleep well before waking up crying. He will drink half his normal bottle, then fall asleep in my arms. Then as soon as I put him in his bed he can't get comfortable and sleep again. Until last night he was sleeping 3-5 hours at a tim...
My baby is 2 today!! I literally cried myself to sleep last night snuggling with him. (yeah, I let him sleep in my bed last night bc I he wanted to & I wanted him to) lol
Why are birthdays so hard for meeee?! 😭😭😭
won't sleep unless being held
Ladies, I'm going crazy from not being able to sleep. McKenna won't sleep unless she's being held. Not sure if it's my smell, the warmth, or what but I need sleep! Every night I end up just falling asleep with her but I don't like that at all. It worries me. What do I do?! If I don't get some sleep soon, I'm gonna lose my mind.
Anyone able to help?
Where luke sleeps on his front, he leaks through his nappy without fail. I turn him before I go to bed and then when I go to bed but he always moves himself back. I'm not sure what else I can do. He no longer wakes during the night and I don't really like waking him as then it throws his day out of place; like his dad he loves his sleep and is grouchy if that changes. I'm not sure why it's happening I haven't had a problem with these nappies before 😕
Honestly he is like a yoyo at the minuet last night he slept from 7 till 6 lol.. You never know what your gunna get from him.. Was hoping to put him in his own room soon but if Carries on like this there will be no point xxx
