Sleepwalking while taking care of baby?!?
I’m extremely freaked out. My baby sleeps in a cradle next to our bed. We swaddle her in one of those swaddles with the velcro every night. I woke up just now to half of my bra pulled down and that breast having no milk, my baby being completely out of her swaddle, and me holding my baby in a sitting up position next to me on the bed. I have NO memory of doing any of this at all and I am so so scared. I used to sleep walk or say and do things completely in my sleep when I was a kid but I haven’t done it in a long time. Has anyone else had an experience like this? What should I do? What if I do it again and she’s in our bed and suffocates because I’m too asleep to realize I’ve brought her into the bed and to make sure she doesn’t get covered up by the blankets?? I thought maybe I should move the cradle farther away from me so I’d have to get up to go get her if she cried, but what if I still don’t wake up fully and then it just makes it even more dangerous to sleepwalk and carry her farther?
