Congratulations to everyone who's had babies recently!
I hope everyone's recoveries are going well as well.
Good luck to those with sweeps, inductions, c-sections today and over the next few days. Sorry I'm not on much at the moment. I keep reading posts but not really commenting. I am thinking of you all.
@Smiffette yes, little Charlotte does this. She sleeps wonderfully in the carry cot of the pram during the day, most of the time anyway. Every now and then she wakes and wants to sleep on you but generally she's pretty good during the day. At night I'm struggling to get her to settle or sleep for long in her crib. I've had many nights with lots of holding her between feeds, or with only short periods of rest of say 30 minutes before she's awake again - sometimes for milk but sometimes just for cuddles. Last night I didn't even try and put her in her cot, and instead co-slept with her next to me with my arm around her as she slept on her back snuggled against my side. I thought this was better than ending up drifting off with her in my arms as I sat up, which has happened twice after long hours awake in the middle of the night. It worked, however, and she did 2 hours and 3 hours during the night, though of course I still felt shattered this morning. She also wakes regularly for hiccups and the occasional bit of wind, especially in the night, and of course, there are cluster feeds which for mine seem to mean they don't settle well until their done and will have short rest breaks in your arms.
It is normal though that they want to be with us so much, especially at the beginning. My toddler was similar but it settled down after a few weeks and he was happier sleeping in the carry cot and crib.
