We don’t have home help, and I sleep in a separate room with the baby daily so occasionally when we nap in the daytime, on a weekend, this happens and we each feel differently about it.

Edit : ( baby would be fully asleep )

    Is it terrible? No. Will you be the first parent to have sex with a baby asleep in the room? Definitely not. The fact is babies (especially newborns) can sleep through most anything, including the sounds of sex.

  3. If the baby is asleep sometimes you just have to get creative. As a parent who wants to keep the marriage healthy too sometimes you got to make it work 🤷‍♀️

  4. No, not weird. Do you expect to go without? The baby can’t even roll over let alone understand what you are doing.

  6. 8 weeks? No not at all. Why are you sleeping in a different room than your husband?

  8. Its not going to cause harm but that wont stop some people from feeling weird about it. It wont cause harm not doing it either so finding another place to do it where you can both be comfortable seems like an easy fix
