Sorry for possibly rambling incoherent post. Have had one 1-2 hour stretch of sleep each night for the past three nights and that's it. And only because the night duty mw took pity on me, removed dc3 and put some formula down him while I passed out.
Not the most fun elcs. Lasted three hours due to everything being adhered to everything else and quite a big pph. He was born about 1pm and thankfully managed to catch the tongue tie snippy lady before she left for the weekend so he's latching on ok and I think I know what I'm doing after two previous dcs/sections/exclusive bf.
However, milk still not in and this one seems hungrier than the other two. He will also only sleep on or next to a warm body and absolutely will not settle in the crib or stay asleep when deposited into one. Seeing all these posters round the mat ward is making me totally paranoid, especially as am trying so desperately to avoid nodding off with him. However much I try I really can't avoid it. Have asked the mw to keep their eye on me but they are busy and am in a pvt bay.
At home I have a Co sleeper crib next to the bed, quite a firm mattress and have coslept quite happily with both previous dcs - in fact am quite sure the two year old will be in the middle on a few occasions too.
Would never put the newborn between me and Dh, don't smoke at all or drink much, bf on demand and don't cover with a heavy duvet.

Co sleeping. Is it really that 'bad'?
