‘Sleep when the baby sleeps’

Does anyone actually sleep in the day at all to catch up on some sleep? Everyone always telling me to sleep when the baby sleeps but that’s when I do the things I can’t do when I’m attending to her or that’s when I sit down for a bit to eat or whatever so I can’t ever nap in the day even though I’m only getting abou...

Sleeping with comforter?

My LG naps with her comforter and does really well but I am watching her on the monitor. I’m cautious about allowing her it at night as all the safe sleep advice etc warns against it. Is anyone allowing their LO to sleep at night with a comforter or teddy?

Normal breathing noises?

My LO is 9 days old and often makes noises like this in her sleep. It’s not all the time but it’s a lot and keeps me awake worrying. We have our 10 day midwife appointment tomorrow so I’ll mention it then… I know newborns make noises but I can’t help but worry (hormones I imagine)
