Held for naps at 2 months old

Abinormal

So, during the first few weeks of DD's life she would sleep anywhere. Up until a week or so ago she would nap in her swing or bouncer. Sometimes she would fall asleep in my arms, but she would stay asleep if I put her down. For the last couple of days she won't sleep unless she is being held. The problem with this is I am working and shevis either at home with DH or with the sitter and neither if them are keen on holding her for 1-2 hours while she sleeps. Anybody have any advice or solutions? Any ideas on why she all of a sudden be doing this?

Car Seat!!!

My DS is the same way but does well in the car seat. I stole the idea from his babysitter!

did you just recently go back to work? Maybe she is lonely and missing you.  Maybe she is cold and they are not dressing her as warmly as you would.  I know that Jonathan sleeps alot better when he is dressed warm. He likes to sleep on me too.  I think he gets lonely and cold and loves to be iin close physical contact to me.  I usually wear him.  Maybe recommend that they wear her throughout the day.

I assume you're paying the babysitter? If so, she should do what DD needs. Same goes for your husband, obviously.

DD used to always nap in her swing, as of a few days ago she only naps when being held or when I wear her. Today I swaddled her, waited for her to fall asleep and put her in her crib with white noise playing. Looks like we have success! Good luck, I know my LO gets really fussy if she doesn't nap well during the day.
