When my 6 month old was born we had to supplement with formula for about 5 days before my milk came in, and since then he has been EBF. He cluster fed like normal, but it never really stopped- most nights he had a 2-3 hour long session before he would settle in the crib. For 2 random days in a row he slept 6 hours straight, but now for about a month we've been back to walking up every 1-2 hours and feeding every 2ish hours during the day. He's always been chunky- 8 lbs 10 oz at birth and 21 lbs 5 oz now- but even so I feel like my body should be making enough to satisfy him for longer stretches and shorter feedings. At the same time though he has been gaining well sp maybe this is normal?

Last night was my first night bedsharing with my 6 month old. He's always hated his crib but I was scared of bedsharing so I put it off until I couldn't anymore. I'm following the safe sleep 7 but have a few questions.

How do you keep milk from leaking everywhere when feeding at night? Do you go braless or take it off when baby nurses? My baby sometimes likes to stay latched for an hour at night.

How do you stay warm?

How do you stay comfortable? Sleeping in the recommended position gets so uncomfortable.

What do you do if you need to get up to pee? I'm scared he'll wake up and roll off the bed when I'm out of the room.

Does your partner sleep in the bed? if so is baby in between you?

Thank you!
