I can't because when she falls asleep on me, I fall asleep! It's so warm and comfortable. Now that she is all wiggly, it's much harder to have her try to fall asleep on me. I long for those sweet first few weeks when she would just pass out on me. So cozy!

My LO has never been a big fan of sleeping on my chest but I do have a baby carrier I wear when doing chores around the house.

I let him nap on me for one of his naps during the day usually.

YES! I did because I knew she wouldn't always want to sleep on my chest!

I do! She's only going to be willing to sleep like that for so long. I want to soak it up!

I LOVE the bonding time we get when LO sleeps on my chest. After she finishes a feed, I always pop her on my chest to burp her and she inevitably falls asleep. Sometimes I let her stay there, other times I pop her down in her cot or swing. During the overnight feeds though, 9 times out of 10, I fall asleep with her on my chest after the feed and we end up sleeping that way for a good hour or two before I eventually put her down.

For the first 3 weeks of her life, LO didn't want to sleep in her cot at night so DH and I switched off in three hour intervals sitting up with her sleeping on our chest. Whilst it meant we didn't get loads of sleep, we really enjoyed that cuddle time. Now she is good about sleeping in her cot but it's her momma who is bad about popping her back in there after the 3 a.m. feeds!

I know she'll eventually stop being a cuddle bug (she's 5 weeks now) so I'm really trying to soak up every minute of cuddle time I can get with her.

She slept on me all the time during my maternity leave! Now she is too big and squirmy!

I used to but, now that DS is older (10.5 months), he is very particular about how he goes to sleep. Snuggling with mommy is pretty much out. He did let me hold him for two naps on our plane ride to Hawaii. He was too exhausted from all of the moving and traveling to fight me...not that he had any other options.

We used to all the time but she refuses now.
