Contact nap only = no sex life

So my 10 week LO only contact naps day and night. We’ve tried different bassinet, swaddle, white noise, rocking, dark room.. literally every single thing you can name but absolutely refuses to be put down! 😫 It’s so bad that we contact nap during naps and thought the night, soon as you put him down… the eyes are wide open! This has caused a strain on our relationship, no more cuddles in bed or sex as it’s baby every second of the day.. even have to take turns using the toilet.. Is this normal? Anyone else experiencing this? Postpartum is so hard and I just want some TLC from my husband, even being held at night but I can’t have it. 💔

Have you tried incorporating white noise during feeding etc and not just when trying to put baby down? That way, he might associate the white noise with calm/relaxation?

You say as soon as you put baby down eyes are wide open. And then what? Do they scream or.. ?

Is baby content when awake? Maybe try a baby gym or something now they will start grabbing at things so just pop them down awake in a safe place and you should be able to have a few moments with your partner! It gets better as they get older
