Newborn - only sleeping on me...

[nataliew]

thank you, thank you, thank you.
Bubs slept with us last night and I actually feel semi sane today! It's hard though - I feel guilty, like I've done the wrong thing (and I wouldn't tell anyone that I let him sleep in our bed) funny how it's ingrained in me that it's not the 'right' thing to do...
All of your posts have made me not feel so alone in this. Why does nobody say 'yeah it's hard, so hard'..?
I miss work, I miss alone time with hubby, I miss popping to the shops to get stuff for dinner, I even miss making dinner!
But its not forever and I need to give into it for a while - easier said than done but I'm making that my mantra for now.

Nat as long as your and DP aren't drunk or stoned it's fine to sleep with bubs. But if you don't want to tell people and spare yourself a lecture - that's fine too!

I'm a long time co sleeper, it sorts ANY baby out tee hee!

And to pinch a comment from another thread ....your baby must like you or something!!! Mmmmmm mummmy!

There is a great article on co-sleeping in the Baby Articles on BB- click on Baby Articles on the tab up the top of this screen. It is Co-sleeping- Is it part of bonding? (something like that!). It's nothing to be ashamed of and may be the answer for you. People have funny opinions about it (usually our parents/rellies/ones older than us but as Lulu says just dont mention it and you won't find yourself having to defend what you do. Keep up your terrific work and keep bubs close.
