at the hospital re: sleep
Where did LO sleep while you were in the hospital? So far we are either holding him or like right now I'm letting him sleep on the bed with me while I side nurse. I don't want to start encouraging co-sleeping and we have the crib and rock n play in our room to ensure this doesn't happen but for now I'm doing what I feel comfortable with and can handle. Especially with all the different pains I have. I can't easily put him in the hospital's plastic bassinet and it just seems so cold to me. so what did you do?

I totally would have slept with him in bed. You are not going to create any bad habits this early.
DD did always love being held during the day while napping though whereas we were able to put DS down, so I don't think it mattered so much what we did as it just depends on the baby if you're worried about creating a habit/expectation.

@bobcee We did the same with my DD. I pretty much held her her first 2 months and I'd rather not with this little guy so it's nice to see that your boy was fine with not being held 24/7. this little guy seems fine with it compared to DD who hated being anywhere but my arms.

She mostly slept in her pack n play bassinet once we were home but she slept on us some of the time as well.
