I have a 5 week old that I can never put down because as soon as I do he knows it and will cry. So for my sanity I have been co-sleeping which I know is a huge no no but if I don’t than my partner and myself will get no sleep and I don’t dare tell anyone this because it’s so tabu in our society.

I’m not sure about anyone else but I think more parents prob do this than will admit. This is my third child and each has had their own difficulties for the first few months and in my opinion If sleeping with our babies help to bring some sanity to our otherwise chaotic days (breastfeeding 24/7, no sleep, watching the chores pile up around us) then we shouldn’t be shamed!
