Hi Lisa, sorry don't have any great advice to give you but it is not wrong to have your little one in with you, I often bring my DS1 5 months into the bed when he wont settle and every other parent I know does the same!

Is her 20 min sleeping after feeds? What is she doing the rest of the time? She will be fine lying in her cot while you nap even if she is not sleeping, or is she upset when she is not with you?

she is upset she isnt with me im a lone parent
so its just me and her all the time

how long has this been going on?
