Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Help!

The entire day today, DC will only sleep on me.  I let her fall into a deep sleep then move her to her bed, 5 minutes later she's screaming...  Also, nursing is lasting 10 minutes amd she's out again!

Any suggestions on getting her to sleep?  Or me to sleep?  TIA

  • Not that it's the safest thing to do, BUT - I would let DD sleep on me when she was that little. Actually until she was about a month old. Then, I let her sleep on her tummy.
  • Loading the player...
  • that is TOTALLY normal for a baby at that age...

    if she sleeps on your chest, let her do that (that's where ds slept for the first 2 weeks or so) and our bed was the couch.... 

  • I actually miss DD sleeping on me.
  • Sorry...but let her sleep on you. Sleep with her. DS would only sleep on us for the first several weeks. I just used it as a good excuse to nap a lot myself. It slowly gets better - he can now nap on his own and sleeps in his own room at night, and I miss him!

    Also, I HIGHLY recommend a wrap or sling, we love the Moby wrap. DS napped in it all the time and I could get stuff done around the house (or just nest!) and he still naps in it about every other day, when I want cuddle time or when we're at the store.
