(First time mom) Is it safe to sleep when baby sleeps?

Question

I’am so exhausted from waking up with feeding and changing etc... I only get the most 4 hours sleep but most of the time it’s less then that. I keep thinking to sleep when the baby sleep to add on more sleeping hours. But is it safe to be fully asleep and you a newborn sleeping?

Answer

Absolutely. It's probably safer than not sleeping. You get more sleep, you're more calm. If you're more calm you can take more baby cries without feeling to the point where you get too mad. Sleep mama. Sleep!

Answer

I know it’s so scary. I felt the same way! I would set alarms on my phone for every hour so that I could check that my baby was breathing. Then I got more comfortable and would set alarms for 2 hours, then 3 hours, and now no alarms at all! You will eventually trust that baby will wake you if they are hungry and that you will be able to hear baby crying!

Answer

If you don’t sleep when baby sleeps, then when would you sleep? Of course you need to sleep when baby is sleeping.
