DD is 2 weeks old and won't settle unless she's within a few inches of me. She's been very wakeful at night and has eben feeding loads. And I've been getting just a few hours sleep. So I'm resigned to letting her sleep next to me. DH is sleeping in the spare room so he ccan be fresh for dealing with 18 month old DS.
My mum is giving me a seriously hard time about cosleeping (the "she'll die" type comments!) and that is niggling at me.
What can I do to keep it safe? She is in a newborn sleeing bag, sleeps on DHs side holding/leaning on my hand, duvet/pillows well out of the way. Biggest concern is we have a memory foam mattress and she rolls slightly to her side and gets quite comfy in that position. Is the memory foam safe?
Any ideas for either A) getting her to sleep in her hammock or B) getting my head around cosleeping being OK.
