Are all on me.
If we are out she naps in the car or pram. But when we are indoors they are on me (or OH at weekends). I decided at new year to turn over a new leaf and attempt to put her to nap in a proper place (bassinet), but all that happened was she either got herself worked up into tears at being put down when tired (she’s a cuddly baby), or she did fall asleep eventually (with a dummy) but woke 10 mins later. Both situations end with an unhappy overtired baby.
On me she can nap for an hour, or longer. It’s always a good solid nap, and not a catnap.
I don’t actually have an issue with this (at the moment). I love the cuddles, I get to sit and watch tv, go on my phone, relax, nap myself if needed.
At night she sleeps well, in her Sleepyhead. She doesn’t co sleep with us (very rarely 5amish onwards if unsettled). She must be self settling throughout the night (I’m aware this can change at any time)
Is this really habit really terrible, and why? What will the repercussions be? I know it’s not good for us long term, but it’s so nice! I know I can only do this with my first born. I don’t get loads done, but what needs doing?! I’m on maternity leave, relaxing. All the essentials (washing, showering, tidying, eating etc) get done when she’s awake.
Has anyone also done this and learnt the hard way that it was a mistake?
