Quik question (daughter w new baby)

Congratulations Gmax 👶 👩‍🍼

I can't help with advice, I can't remember what I did 50 years ago to get the babies to sleep. I do remember the bone deep fatigue of those early weeks and absolutely snatching 'power naps' whenever possible.

Hey thanks. This question sort of extends to other topics of "The old ways are no good!"
I'd like to think I have good advice, and it's to my chagrin when I'm told, No! That's not good! (smile, sigh)

I never slept with my babies because was so wiped was afraid I’d roll on top of them. And it can happen. Is called co-sleeping and some new mums do do this, a friend of my DD did but hubby had to sleep in the guest room.
Would advise she puts a top she has recently worn in thebasket/cot, and let the baby sleep on top of it, apparently the baby smells the mother especially if she is breast feeding and settles much easier. My DDs were both advised to do this by a midwife am not sure if it worked, but lots of winding seems to work also imho.

That's a frequent refrain on these forums ... 😊! I meant to add, I can't even help with what worked for my DIL... I only have one grandchild and I was not really ever asked for advice.

Someone else will come along soon who may be able to suggest something. Good luck!

Number one rule of grandparenting - NEVER EVER say "well, I didn't do it like that"
