I have yet to post my birth story, but will soon with pics...promise.
Had a quick question first. We are breastfeeding and LO is latching and eating really well. The problem is that he won't sleep unless he's in our arms. He often falls asleep while eating and is out cold, but as soon as we lay him down he's wide awake and screaming (and usually won't eat anymore so I dont think he's hungry). Needless to say, sleep is a bit difficult to get. Anyone have any suggestions/experience with this? Thanks so much!
Re: fussy baby question....
My LO doesn't sleep alone. He's never been comfortable with it and if I set him down, he gets maybe 30 minutes of sleep. So I hold him. We ended up bed sharing and during the day, if I need my hands free, I use a sling or a wrap to carry him in.
Remember, your baby was carried all the time before being born. It can take a while before they're ready to be alone at all.
This is what was happening to our LO yesterday. She's usually a great sleeper, but she wouldn't sleep unless we were holding her. We figured out it was gas. We had other indicators (facial expressions, etc), but it could be a possiblity. Gas drops are amazing!
