Sex life when co-sleeping

[ButterPie]

I have an 8wo baby who is a lot clingier than my first and seems to need cuddles all the time, which is pretty manageable with a sling and co-sleeping. My problem is, we have only had two quickies (both interrupted by the baby crying in her basket) in the last 8 weeks, both in the first two weeks. I am horny as hell!

How do other people manage?

Hmm..... my little one is only 2 and a half weeks..... he's co-sleeping and constantly feeding at the moment. I was really lucky with pregnancy and birth and have been keen for some attention, if only exploratory we're struggling between the crying! Not sure what the answer is..... if you work it out, PLEASE let me know!!!!

you just don't manage too well in the first few weeks with a clingy baby tbh!

i have memories of doing it on the sofa downstairs before going to bed

Very few people manage to schedule in sex in the first few weeks, co-sleeping or not. It's just the way things go.

It does get better though, when the baby starts sleeping more soundly and more regularly (doesn't necessarily mean sleeping through the night). When the baby settles into a routine(ish) you will have an idea what time of the evening/night sex is possible. And it doesn't have to happen in the bedroom...there are other rooms, you know

It will be fine by the time they start school .

Get creative and try different rooms. Shower, sofa, kitchen table...

Just remember to give the kitchen table a wipe before using it for more conventional purposes

Either on the sofa or occasionally if my folks had both our boys during the day.

It didn't help though to have to arrange it with my mum in order to have sex. We did explicitly say as much, but even so...

When it gets really bad you can always take it in turns to go and masturbate.
