Hi!
This is my first post so please bear with me. I'm hoping for some advice re co sleeping - my 10 week old currently sleeps most of the night in her cot with me in the same room but after she wakes for a feed around 4-5am she always wakes up when I put her down in her cot so she ends up sleeping on my chest. She also loves being close to me as I do to her and I've been thinking about co sleeping since she was born but have been put off by midwives etc.
I've had a look at all of the safe co sleeping guidelines and my question is about the fact that only breastfeeding mothers should co sleep. I currently breastfeed and formula feed so I wasn't sure if this would count as safe. DD currently has 2-3 feeds a day from the breast. To maximise safety I would happily breastfeed all night but I don't seem to produce enough milk anymore to do that as my breasts only seem to feel full after at least 6 hours.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated x
