Please help-frustrated & confused.

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Baby has been a great night sleeper since birth. He has been in his crib now for 1.5 months. Two nights in a row now he REFUSES to sleep in his crib. I am at my wits end with him. After 4 hours each night, I have given up and let him sleep in his swing. What's going on? Please help.

    I may be alone on this, but my opinion is go with what works for now.  He's not even three months old yet.  He's too young to develop any habits.  If the only place he will sleep right now is in his swing, then so be it.  You both have to get sleep and there's no point in having a power struggle with a two month old.

    Ditto Donkey.  You need your strengthStick out tongue

    Unless it gets to the point that it did with us.  When my DS was about 2 months old, he would only nap in his swing, and it got to the point where if we were out and he got sleepy I couldn't even comfort or console him--he just wanted his swing.  That didn't fly with me so we quit cold turkey and I have just now started reintroducing it.

    Yep, I'm w/ Donkey. You have to do what works. Baby is too little for any kind of routine or habits, so if his swing is what makes him comfortable, then by all means, let him sleep in it. It will not hurt him. GL!

    I was going to say exactly what Donkey did.  Let him sleep where he wants- he needs sleep, you need sleep, so if the swing works- go with it!

    her original post said she was very frustrated and she kind of yelled and also that she was upset about it. I actually thought it was a good idea for her to post.

    I have certainly been frustrated at my baby... Luckily, I have never yelled, but at the peak of exhaustion, I have certainly cried. Can we give her a break? She is asking for help, which is a good thing. Better to vent here...
