Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Help!

So Ive posted before about my ds sleeping on my chest.

 This is getting very uncomfortable now that he is almost 15 lbs he turned 3 months on the 21. Talked to dr he said to do the 3 minutes of crying then comfort and put him back in bed. I am not worried about hin sleeping through the night he already does this i just want him to sleep on his own (off of my chest)

 I am going to start this next weekend so my sister can stay so I can nap during the day and have some help so I wont get frustrated.

 Has anyone had a similar situation and was this method successful for you. What was your solution or your suggestion. Its to the point where Im not sleeping well and DH and I have no sex life. I know its my fault for starting him on my chest but I wound like to break the habit before he is old enough to walk back in my room lol thank you ladies!

Re: Help!

  • We had this problem (thank you, colic) and it was a long fix. We started by putting her in our bed . I would put her next to me with my hand on her chest. A night or two later I moved her arms lengh away but left my hand on her chest, Then we slept a few nights with no touching but still in the same bed. FINALLY we moved her to her pack n play. Started it right by the bed and moved it once she would sleep the whole night in it.

    She was a month old when we did this transition so I don't know if it would be easier or harder for a three month old.

    Good luck!
