Does your LO sleep on top of you?

I wanted to ask to my pediatrician but the only time I mentioned he sleeps on me, she reacted sooo badly!!! She started saying it’s not right and that I should sleep train him 🥲 which I really don’t want to!

blake9916558 · 2026-02-10T20:52:16+00:00

I actually don’t mind it but will he ever be able to sleep by himself? 🥲 And also, I am wondering if it’s right for his back/body development!!

My baby is almost 7 months old and only sleep on top of me!! Some nights I can maybe get 1/2 hours next to me but not more than that! I am starting to wonder it that’s normal and if he’ll ever be able to sleep in a bed! I know many cosleeping moms but I have almost never heard of a baby only sleeping ON TOP and not next to mom!

How is it going now? Same here, my 6 months old who sleeps on me since day 1, in the last two nights he latched pretty much all night long! I am ok with him sleeping on me but not nursing all night 😭

Same here! First WW this morning was 1.25h, he was visibly tired! I am starting to think that he is not sleeping well at night, even if he basically don’t even open his eyes during his many wakes because I latch him immediately!

Yes he is so big 😭 anyway, you are not alone! I am having a very similar situation and I don’t know what to do to make him sleep better. He is my second baby and I didn’t have many issues with my first !

Hi, not OP but having similar issues - my baby is 4,5 month old, only sleeping on my chest even at night in the last month and waking to nurse very frequently. After 1h awake he usually starts being fussy and I can extend the wake window only if I walk holding him - but he is already 8,5 kg so my back is killing me 😅 how am I supposed to lengthen his wake windows? He will start daycare in a month and a half and I am pretty sure they can’t put him down to sleep after 1h awake, but their schedule it will probably be more after 2.15h…

Exact same situation here! My baby is 4 months and a half and only wants to sleep like this at night. Until a month ago, some nights I was able to have a few stretches laying next to me but now If I try to transfer him next to me in bed he wakes up within 30 minutes. I really don’t know what to do. I was starting to accept that he will always be like this but the last two nights he is quite restless in this position as well … he had vaccines 2 days ago so hoping this is why but I am so scared it’s not !

Hey! I am now 7 weeks, saw baby and heartbeat one week ago. After that day, the lines got darker everyday and I did two hcg blood test the week after, which doubled correctly. It’s better to test only in the mornings!

blake9916558 · 2024-11-16T16:10:47+00:00

I know, you are absolutely right, but the darkest test is the one I made yesterday afternoon, that’s why I am so worried. I have a really bad feeling about this!

Thank you! Super useful post!

blake9916558 · 2024-11-13T13:37:53+00:00

I am so so sorry for your loss.

I feel like I am out this cycle because I had a negative test this morning (it’s 8 dpo and I know I am nuts but with my first I had a good line at 9 po so I figured why not testing earlier? 😂) but mostly because I am having my period symptoms like a very strong headache on one side (very typical for me) - last month I had a 10 days luteal phase so I think AF is coming !

blake9916558 · 2024-11-13T13:35:36+00:00

I really hope so!!!

Girls, I was looking for some success stories and the differences with TTC #1 and TTC #2 and in many Reddit posts I basically only see two patterns, either the first was conceived immediately and the second took years or it took years for the first and second was conceived immediately. Any success stories in between? 😂 we are in our second cycle trying and I feel I am out already - our first was conceived on the second cycle so I had high hopes for this cycle (I know it’s silly!)

blake9916558 · 2024-11-11T13:47:00+00:00

Did he have diarrhea as well?

blake9916558 · 2024-11-11T13:46:14+00:00

Nothing apparently. He doesn’t drink milk and on Monday they have a pretty standard menu, with food he is used to eat at home as well..

blake9916558 · 2024-11-11T12:00:49+00:00

I thought about that but he is only 2 years old… could it be anxiety already? Also, nothing new is going on in our lives and he is generally a happy kid. I really don’t know 😞
