Narcolepsy Mama

Any mamas out there with narcolepsy? I have a 3 month old and he sleeps pretty well, but I’m able to nap during the day when he does. I’m heading back to work next week and don’t know how I will make it through the day without naps, especially when my baby gets up in the night and I won’t be able to take a nap when I get home from work anymore.

Could the dad not take nights/your normal after work nap time if you’re formula feeding or if ebf could you co-sleep in a way where your baby can latch themselves and hopefully then feed to sleep without waking you, sorry if thats a bad suggestion i formula feed

Any suggestions help! He gets a bottle, formula and pumped milk. My husband will definitely have to take over nights. The only problem with after work naps is that I won’t get much time with my baby for the day if I do that :(

@Alyssa could you give your little one a nap routine that means your napping at the same time and then co sleep for your nap, personally i try not to co sleep where i can but it has a time and place where its necessary and i swear whenever i fall asleep with my little boy my body can feel it and its some of the best sleep i get, as much as you’d probably love to spend every minute with your son you need to make sure your looking after your health as well so you can be the best mom possible and I’m sure he’d love having cuddles whilst he naps anyway
