Contact naps at 1 year / co-sleeping
My beautiful baby girl just turned one and she still loves contact naps. Is this the same with a lot of others? If I put her down she wakes up like 10 min after however if I hold her she gets a really good sleep. Not that I mind it because I love the cuddles.
And we have also just fitted her cot into our room, we’ve always co-slept and I think we’re just as bad as each other because I can’t sleep without her either but I want her to be able to sleep in her cot too as she loves moving around at night constantly and kicking my husband off the bed. Any tips? I think I’m the one with separation anxiety not her🥲

My baby loves contact naps!! She still sleeps well in her own bed but we’re both big cuddlers I love having her sleeping on me I feel at peace and she sleeps so well. The best thing I did to move my baby from our bed to hers was making sure she was as tired as possible before bed time. I pushed dinner a little later, had her chase me around the house and gave her a bath right before bed which always helped (:

My boy is 13mo and we co-sleep too. He is still waking several times at night, but we are getting to the point he doesn't need my breast at night anymore. I know I have to start thinking to get him used to sleep on his own, but mentally, I'm not ready, he is not ready...so I'm trying not to stress about it... when I feel we are ready, we will do it!
