I'm at my wits end and I cannot sit up cuddling my sleeping 3 month old baby all night any longer. I can't sleep in thr day with baby either as it's all contact naps (or baby won't nap at all). I've got nothing left in my tank.
Baby had been sleeping fine in next2me until Christmas. Now won't sleep if not in arms. Day or night. I can't do it any more and DH is not supportive and has MH issues exasperated by lockdown.
I have no one I can call on to form a support bubble.
I have no local family. My in-laws are elderly and shielding so won't be able to help either.
I don't see any solution except try bed-sharing. DH mental health will suffer as I'll have to kick him out of our bed to enable it.
What bedding can I use myself to bed-share safely without getting cold? Baby is in a sleep sack. The lullaby Trust stuff only talks about baby bedding.
Also if I BF, and BF to sleep lying down - what about winding baby? How do you manage that without waking baby? Do you have boobs out all night for baby to find comfort themselves?
Anything else you can suggest or any other ideas, I'm all ears,24/7 sitting up awake with baby, ears.
TIA
