My DS is 2 months old, I’m 20 single mum. I’m BF so it’s just me who does the feeds and I didn’t like FF( no judgement just my personal experience). After feeds he will fall asleep in my arms but it’s almost impossible for me to put him down. Any movement from my arms and he’s then wide awake.. won’t go back to sleep unless fed again and repeat. If he does go down it only lasts 10 mins or so, and makes it impossible for me to get things done. Night times.. I give a bottle of expressed milk which was filling him and sleeping from 12-6 then BF then sleep till 8/9. This lasted a week, now I find myself feeding him to sleep then falling asleep with him because he wakes if put down. Tried safe co sleeping but I end up freezing cold and dead arm or leg. This isn’t a moan it’s just a genuine ask of how I can get him to go down for naps and any advice for nighttime? I love the constant cuddles but need some breaks too and comfortable sleep to keep being a good mummy during the day. Advice or experience welcome !! (I’ve tried putting him down but after 10 mins wakes and unsettled or wants feeding which in the night can sometimes get an hour sleep then repeat. Can’t let him cry through the night as I won’t sleep anywhere and doesn’t seem fair on him being so little)
