So today is the 6 wk pp mark and I'm feeling ready to get back into it with my hubby. I've REALLY missed him and I know it's been hard for him too.
My only problem is LO won't EVER let us put him down, which is what made us start co-sleeping. So he is literally always being held by one of us and I have no idea how we will find any time to have alone time. If we try putting him down even when he's in deep sleep, he wakes up within 5 minutes. Anyone else have this problem? Ideas?

Wow. It must be so exhausting for you guys..
He doesn't do well in swings either, right? Maybe you can put him down in the other room and if he wakes just let him cry for a bit while you and your DH have some alone time? -
Could you get a babysitter for a couple of hours? Do you have family near that can help you watch him? That's rough!

When you baby falls asleep in your bed, you and hubs can try it out on the couch? Good luck!

Do you have to literally hold him all night long? Or does he only sleep when he feels your body next to him in bed?

Have you ever seen the Friends episode when Ross explains the "Hug and Roll"? Maybe you could trick your LO into sleeping by himself in your bed by letting him fall asleep nestled next to you, and then roll away and crawl out of the room?
Maybe think about introducing a white noise machine so he won't hear you get up??
