Overnight feeds
My LO is 12 weeks and usually wakes 3x a night to feed. Ive started falling asleep holding him upright after feed #2. Any good suggestions on preventing this? Ive tried being on my phone (falling asleep typing this) setting alarms, etc. Its becoming a safety hazard so Im going to have to start laying him back down after 10 mins um instead of 30

If possible, I’d get up and go into another room and sit up on a sofa or a chair. Prop yourself up with pillows and make yourself cooler by wearing short pjs or drinking cool water. I didn’t feed my son in bed for weeks because I was so sleep deprived I didn’t trust myself not to drift off so I took him into his nursery where we had a spare high back chair

Maybe try having some water next to you and use cotton pads to apply to your eyes as well as drinking cold water - that’s what I used to do, hope it helps 😊
