Sleepy but awake

Lynzwebb

My DD is 9 weeks old and cries any time I put her down. Basically everything I have read about sleep training says to lay babies down sleepy but awake so they can learn to fall asleep on their own. I don't feel like I can do that because whenever I try she starts crying. Right now I hold her or carry her in a wrap for her naps and rock her to sleep at night. Has anyone else dealt with this? Will she start letting me lay her down when she is older?

DS will cry for maybe 2-3 minutes after I put him down while he tries to get comfy and then he's out. The transition just makes him frustrated but he figures it out pretty quickly. I wouldn't let a 9 week old full-on cry it out, but maybe give her a few minutes (5 max) to see if she can get comfy and fall asleep?

My dr said I shouldn't start worrying about sleep training until 4-6 months.

I rock my daughter to sleep every night and during the day she sleeps in her glider. Occasionally I can lay her down half asleep and she will stay asleep but most times she will wake up shortly after. I wouldn't worry about it until later
