There are some nights I would resort to anything just for some sleep.

I leave Ollie in his car seat if he is asleep, no way am I waking him up when he is asleep I am not that stupid.  My hv told me I shouldn't leave him in the car seat for more than 2hrs as young babies can get breathing difficulties  but I have never heard this before and can't find any evidence so will have to ask her where she got that from.

It's hard especially when you are breastfeeding and can't get a night off at all.  Most of the time I feel ok but it doesn't take much to tip the balance and I am exhausted.

Don't feel guilty.  No harm done and you got some sleep.

Hi Ya, i havent done this myself but know of some of my friends that have and their lo's never suffered. sometimes you have to do it just for your sanity so dont fret.

I think i am worse if anything as i give in and end up cuddling Rianna some nights just to get some sleep, and i know i shouldnt be but i have a 7 year old who needs her sleep for school.
