And when? 😭 Almost 11 weeks in and I just cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. I mean, he naps but only in our arms so my husband and I have to take day/night shifts to hold him while he sleeps/naps. I'm so overwhelmed, tired, and I just want to be able to be on the same sleeping schedule as my husband again so we can both be up during the day together 😩😮‍💨 my LO also hates being baby carried but always wants to be held. My arms, neck, and back are screaming for this to end 😩

So when does this get easier? 😮‍💨

Editing to add baby just got diagnosed with thrush today 🙃 easier? Who said I wanted an easier time? 🥲

We have a 2 month old velcro baby who exclusively naps/sleeps on our chests. He is completely okay with being set down in his bassinet or bouncer, but only stays wide awake even if he is tired. He will not sleep anywhere except on us.

When my husband and I go back to work by month 4 we will have to change up his sleep routine. Right now my husband has the night shift where he stays up to let the baby sleep on him then I have the day to let him nap on me. Even when we did try and do supervised co sleep where baby slept next to me through the night he didn't sleep too well since it wasn't directly on me.

How do we get him used to sleeping next to us in the bed? And eventually we may be able to transfer him to the attached bassinet (which we have) but even if we can't, we at least need him to be able to rest next to us as well as on us. We have the whole safe setup with the flat firm mattress on the ground, no excess blankets or pillows, baby sleeping next to me and not in between us, c position, etc. but he wants no part of it 🥲

We would love to start being able to sleep when he sleeps and be back on the same schedule with each other again too 🥲 looking for advice, tips, tricks, anything! Thank you guys!
