Just wondering, how does bedtime work with co-sleeping (bed-sharing)? Say you want to put your baby down at 8 pm, does it mean you're also in bed at 8 pm? I understand I shouldn't leave the baby under 6 months to sleep alone to minimise SIDS risk, so even if we weren't co-sleeping I'd have to be up in the bedroom with him, right? According to the safety guidelines.
DS is 13 weeks old. He usually takes short day naps (about 30 minutes long) but sleeps in longer chunks at night (4-5 hours usually), waking up to feed as he's EBF. We'd normally take him to bed at our bedtime (10-10:30 pm) but as his morning wake up time has stabilised at 6:30-7 am lately, I believe I should be putting him to bed earlier to get enough sleep? Especially as his day naps are so short and not particularly restful.
He is overall a happy baby, very alert and doesn't cry much as long as he's held. I normally wear him in the sling for most of the day, including naps. He does get fussier towards the evening / when he's tired, but most of the time isn't very hard to get to sleep, and doesn't depend on feeding (can be rocked instead).
