I have to cradle mine with one arm to keep from trying to escape. Then I have to slowly roll off of me and then barely move my arm up until I’m free. It’s taken me up to 2 hours to get her asleep lately. She’s 8 months. Fits in 24 month oldoutfits. Idk what to do. She won’t eat solids either unless it’s my apple or a grape

She is sleeping on me as I type. If I put her down she will wake up, almost immediately, screaming. Good to know other mothers are going through the same thing.

I play games on my phone, read articles, pay bills, watch movies and yes sleep while baby girl is sleeping on me.

Thank you for sharing this blog.

I’m still trying to help my 7 week old sleep in bed particularly during day. But then i’m unsure biologically if she’s ready for this? Sleeping on me is definitely becoming a routine
and I feel guilty …

We are sleep deprived and have no interest in reading a book or watching a movie. I want to know how to get the baby to sleep in a bassinet or crib so that I can actually sleep and therefore be a functioning human being!

For the first month this was really the only way he would sleep, I got used to doing things on my phone for a good hour or so since I was stuck. These are great tips!

Our baby is similar in which she will primarily sleep when held or cradled. I just want to make sure-is this still safe? She is on her back.

Hasn’t failed me yet.

While I was “doing my time” under a sleeping/nursing baby I managed to finish reading everything that Jane Austen ever wrote. When that was done, I moved on the Anne of Green Gables series. At the end the 10th book I had a very hard time parting with Anne.
For the next one, I’ll make sure to practice my ninja skills in advance.
