My sling has been a godsend, it really has, dd is 12 weeks and basically won't nap without it. But I'm a bit tired of it now, I love sitting on the sofa with her cuddled up snoozing but I need to do other stuff too and everything just wakes her up. I just settled her in there to cook dinner and remembered I need to use the blender ffs.
I'm aware of my every movement in it, i can't eve flush the friccin loo in case it wakes her.
I think it would be okay if it was just a few hours a day but she's tired constantly and can't seem to be awake for more than 45 mins.
Anyway, it's just a rant, I feel guilty for wanting her to sleep separate from me but also I was pregnant for 9 months I would like my body back!
Oh and I'd love to nap while she's napping! God, the things I'd do for a decent nap.
(I've had good advice on her sleeping from fatedestiny btw which was helpful and she can nap elsewhere sometimes if I time it right but I'm basically shit at reading her cues and even if she does nap elsewhere it's only for 30- 45 minutes)

AIBU?
to think slings don't really let you "get on with stuff" while the baby sleeps
