DD Needs To Start Sleeping In Crib. Help!

SilentSymphony

Ok so DD#2 is almost 2 weeks old. Me, DD#1 and DD#2 share one room so I sleep in a twin sized bed....I had a repeat csection o sleeping isn't the most comfortable thing and of course my LO wants to sleep right in my arms! Its starting to really hurt She needs to start sleeping in her crib ASAP.but if she sleeps with me she will sleep for around 6-8 hours...in the crib she sleeps at best 15 minutes before she starts screaming her head off. DD#1 did the same thing and I didnt mind it much but at that time I had a king size bed in a house......IDK anybody have any advice?

You can't force it. She will sleep in her crib when she is ready. Right now, do you have a cosleeper? Like A Summer Infant one can be put in the bed next to you so that baby can sleep there as opposed to on you. We never had a problem.

It will give you some space and baby more security. See if that might help. You can find some super cheap ones on amazon or ebay.

I dont think my bed is big enough for a co-sleeper....

What about a Rock n Play sleeper? They work wonders...best baby product ever.

My daughter was the same way. When she would take her naps, I would place her in the crib and just repeating when she would wake up crying. I even slept n the crib with her a few times to get her used to it.

I second this. I'd have paid $500 for one if I had to. My LO slept in my arms his first week and hated anything flat.

Sorry I have no advice. I placed my son in his crib from the get go. I did the same with DD and thankfully she loves it. But she wants to sleep on her belly

When we brought DS home from the hospital, he slept in a "Snuggle Nest," which looks like a dog bed. We actually had it on the floor in the living room, and me and DH would take turns sleeping next to him on a bunch of blankets on the floor. This way, we would just put a hand on him, and he would feel secure knowing that we are close. Later on, we started to switch our hands for a glove full of rice after a few minutes...now, he sleeps in the crib, but we still sometimes put the rice glove on his chest, and it makes him sleep.
