Does anyone‘s 2-4 month old sleep in their bassinet or cot? For awhile now, my bub will only sleep on me and it means I never get to do my postpartum recovery exercises or have much of a breather. I spend the very short wake windows looking after bub and shovelling food into my mouth. No idea how I’ll get them back to sleeping in the bassinet/cot during the day. Any suggestions?

this morning I woke up with a very sore throat and a very runny nose. I have a 9 week old and I’m so worried they’ll get very ill from this - if they’ll be so congested they wont be able to sleep or breathe or if they’ll have a terrible fever and we’ll need to go to the hospital. Can you share your experiences with a sick newborn?
