When/how to dress newborn after skin to skin without waking them

[Caipulli]

I love to do skin to skin time with my baby who is four days old but she always falls into a deep sleep and then I feel like I can’t move for hours to not disturb her. If I try to dress her to put her in the crib, she always wakes up and is so upset and distressed that I’m sure it undoes all the good of the S2S time.
Do people have any tips/advice for this?
a certain order to do things in or how to dress her without disrupting her sleep? It’s too cold in our flat at the minute to put her in the sleep sack in just a nappy
thanks 🙏

I don't have any good advice except just enjoy the baby snuggles and don't move 🥰 soon you will never sit down!

I’m wondering if you can do skin to skin I. A carrier (we loved the ergo baby embrace when newborn but I know a lot of people like stretchy wraps too) that way you can get up and go for a wee and get some food with baby on you and not disturb them.
I think I would have been tempted to put them down in the crib with just a blanket and they would wake if cold (but I never had this problem as mine wouldn’t sleep anywhere but on me).

You can just use a blanket and put her down in the same room as you.

Or use cellular blankets with the little holes in and tuck them into the bottom part of the mattress (make sure she's also at the bottom).

Tuck her into the duvet and both watch a film in bed.

I had quite a long, traumatic labour ending up in an c section and was breast feeding so I felt I spent the first two weeks just recovering in bed/watching films/DD cluster feeding. It was bliss. Enjoy it!

Get tea in a travel mug, cake, a phone and a good book near you before you start. Also (crucial) go to the loo. Then settle in!

Will she stay asleep if you place her in a moses basket? My first wouldn't but my second would; I've leave her nappy on then just add a sheet and blanket over the top.

Just keep her on you with a blanket. Dress her when she wakes for her next feed.

Also, as lovely as it is to have skin to skin, it’s not something I’d do at the expense of complicating everything right now. Have her dressed with her face against your chest. Then she stays nice and snuggly warm. And you don’t need to fuss with the dressing and undressing. You can’t easily put sleeping babies down at this age so you’ll need to figure out what works best for your sanity.
