My little man wouldn't sleep unless held the first night home. We eventually figured out that he was too cold in our room at night. We turned up the temp and swaddled him in an extra, warmer blanket and he's been sleeping great since. We also try to keep

It's tough since newborns mix up their day and nights!
I echo the cold comment we had that issue night 1 as well. However I'm harder presses to think this would happen at the hospital!?!

Good luck and my other advise sleep during the

We ended up buying a Rock N Play Sleeper after two sleepless nights at home. It kind of cradles LO so he feels like he's being held. He's been sleeping four and five hour stretches at night since then! We also try and keep him up for awake time during the

She is 2 DAYS old. And probably has her days and nights mixed. I'd say give it a little more time and a lot more patience.

Get a Miracle Blanket.  It's better than swaddlers you buy in the store.

My baby was the exact same! We had our third night home last night and like PP said we realized he was cold. We turn up the heat, and added a space heater and last night he slept almost 4 hr straight! We put him in the rock n play swaddled up. Good luck!!

DS had to be held or he wouldn't sleep.  During the day we would hold him and at night he co-slept with us.  This was the only way we could get any sleep.  And he hated being swaddled. Its what worked for us. Maybe get a baby carrier/r

We've been having the same issue with our baby girl. She had her days/nights completely mixed up (which is very common). We've started keeping her awake more during the daytime and it has helped. Her schedule still isn't perfect (as if that is an attai

Are you breastfeeding? Marley didn't sleep well at all until my milk came in and after that things got a lot easier and she was way less fussy.

All my babies have been like that, and I've bed shared with all three. I've been trying to put DD3 in her bassinet to start the night, but she'll sleep 2 hours there versus 4 hours next to me.

Ethan did this the first couple nights.  He kept managing to get his hands free of the swaddle blanket.  So we went and bought swaddle pods and they are awesome!!  /they keep him swaddled tight and his hands contained.  He's able to
