I have a 10 week old and I’ve been using a wrap + ergo omni breeze, I’ve haven’t figured out how to nurse in either of these and would love to. I think probably getting another carrier that is easier to nurse in would maybe be my best bet. Would love suggestions on carriers that make it super easy to breastfeed in and just tips in general for nursing while wearing a carrier
My baby is 7 weeks old, since he was born he hated the bassinet and I quickly looked up the safe 7 and have created a safe sleeping space. We already had a floor bed (Montessori bed that was supposed to be for when he becomes a toddler)
He never slept long stretches even next to me in the c curl position , max 2 hours, and only sleeps up to 3 hours with contact naps. Over the past couple of weeks he has only been able to sleep more than 40min consecutively if he is on top of me, he wakes up often to feed (more like snack), and if I put him down next to me he immediately wakes up. I stay awake when he sleeps on me and keep myself awake on my phone because I’m too scared to fall asleep, he sleeps mainly on my chest and sometimes falls asleep after he feeds right on top of my boob (it’s actually super cute)
So I actually love it, I’m enjoying the moments being so close to him but it means that I’m not really sleeping very much. My husband js amazing he takes him from 6am and lets me get a couple of hours to sleep, but I can’t sleep more than 2-3 hours because i wake up engorged and need to breastfeed or pump and then he needs to start working, he works from home.
Any tips for similar experiences? Is there any way to actually safely sleep while he is napping on me? Maybe if my husband watches us and is in the same room? Should I just get used to it and enjoy it as much as I can and try to get another nap in while my husband takes care of him?
