Falling asleep while breastfeeding
So lately, especially during night feedings, I fall asleep while feeding my baby girl. My husband also falls asleep so the three of us end up sleeping. I never wanted to co-sleep for safety reasons and just personally I want her to use her own sleeping area but since I keep falling asleep this hasn't been happening. She's 9 days old and if we move her to bassinet almost immediately she wakes up, cries till I feed her again and falls asleep on/next to me. And repeat. Am I doomed now cause it seems she will only sleep if she remains next to me, sigh. I don't want her to get hurt and I don't want her to become dependent on me being there to sleep... What can I do? Anyone with similar prob? I try keeping myself awake but no matter what I do, I end up sleeping.
