Even though they are not mine, they are all warm and suishy and relax you a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-your-lo-make-you-sleepy#post-52911 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:11:31 +0000 Rubies 52911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always fall asleep when she wakes for her night feedings. I still use a nursing pillow so she gets all snuggled in there and can't fall out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-your-lo-make-you-sleepy#post-52812 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 15:32:48 +0000 lemondrop 52812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm constantly falling asleep when nursing. Cam's a pretty sleepy baby, so neither of us are all that efficient when we are sleepy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-your-lo-make-you-sleepy#post-52795 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:11:51 +0000 heffalump 52795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially at bedtime when I'm rocking in the glider in the dark room. I always find myself closing my eyes. Luckily she's a pretty fast eater so she doesn't give me time to fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-your-lo-make-you-sleepy#post-52776 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:26:21 +0000 mrbee 52776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just gave Charlie a bottle before his nap, and as he fell asleep... so did I! Something about holding a dozing little on in the dark just knocks me out sometimes.</p> <p>I have never dropped a baby while dozing off though, thanks to my patent pending process of holding a baby in such a way that even if I fall asleep, nothing will happen.</p> <p>Anyway, does holding your LO make you sleepy? How many times have you fallen asleep while giving your LO some milk or formula? </p>
