My baby doesn't sleep very well at night yet so I'm often shattered during the day. My husband is always saying sleep when the baby does. Am I alone in thinking this just doesn't happen.
Firstly our baby likes to sleep on me during the day and wakes when moved. I'm obviously not going to sleep with him on me. Very occasionally I can lie him on the sofa to sleep but obviously can't sleep then either in case he rolls.
He does eventually go to sleep in his basket at night and after his first feed (sometimes). Perhaps I should sleep then but generally use it as a chance to shower /eat/make up bottles /prepare tea.
Am I missing something or is the saying sleep when baby does is unrealistic, ridiculous and unhelpful?
I'm probably being ridiculous but that's the problem with being sleep deprived.
