My nearly 5 week old seems to sleep well from around 7pm until 4/5am waking for just 2 feeds. After this time he seems to not want to settle and I am up to him pretty constantly. If I bring him in bed with us once this happens, he will settle easily and sleep through until our toddler wakes! Bliss..... Other than I am really uncomfortable cosleeping, feel really paranoid.


I know the principles ie no alcohol etc I also lay in such a way I can't roll on him and neither can his dad, however I'm still not comfortable with it and would much prefer him in his crib!!


I seem to remember there is some kind of product you can buy that protects baby in a separate box like contraption whilst cosleeping- are they any good and what are they called?


Any other tips gratefully received! I know lots of people choose to cosleep, how do you make it work confident baby is safe?


Thankyou

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By mac4 · Posted

      I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.

      Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
