I've been looking after baby myself until I go back to work after the maternity leave. All I can say is be patient and altho we're very tired sometimes, we as the mother will wake up and feed no matter what. After awhile I guess we're adjusted to the timing alr so it's just a routine. My husband helps out from 11pm-2am cos he needs to work. So I do the other timings. And maybe I am very very tired, but alr used to the timing so my body is okay. And while feeding or talking to the baby, if your baby smiles back at you, trust me, it's all worth it. Hehe.
Hi, I slept with my baby the whole confinement period even after (same bed) If you intend to sleep with your baby, you need to be very alert and be careful. Can't really deep sleep or rest. Honestly, you will be very tired as baby will be awake few times for milk. You need to mentally prepared. However, if someone can help out a bit or since you have confinement nanny, you could seek assistance from her.
Baby sleeps in her cot which I placed right beside me.. Since I breastfeed her during the night feeds, it’s only easier to have her sleep in our room.
I didn't leave my LO w nanny. Brought her to sleep in a cot with us. Basically it's waking up every two hours to feed.
I did not have a confinement nanny.. She was sleeping in her cot while I was sleeping on the bed.
Hi... My baby slept with me during confinement. Baby sleep in baby cot placed next to my bed

I co-sleep with my baby, we put him in a playpen beside my bed.
Hi, Better to have baby sleep in a cot next to your bed
