When your newborn is asleep but won't be put down?

For me, it depends on the day, what needs doing, and what position he's wriggled himself into. Sometimes, I do housework with him in the sling. Other times, I'll chill on the sofa reading a book. If he's not in a bonkers position on me, I'll sometimes kill time on the playstation.

Watch TV.

Is this a trick question? Is there something else I should be doing?

Do whatever you need to do at the time.
If you need to have a little lounge on the sofa, relaxing then that's what you do, if you need to get up and move and do a bit, do that.

There is no right or eating it's just what's right for you

I watched tv.

I got myself a drink, my phone/iPad, snack/lunch and went to the toilet beforehand and then settled him to sleep.

I used to stress about him contact napping but I wish I hadn't.

Watched tv, searched the internet on my phone, did some online shopping.

Yes online shopping also, it’s dangerous I once ordered the same thing twice in my sleep deprived state!!
