XP: no longer sleeping in rnp

SarahBBowers · March 2013

Hello, my LO is 8 weeks and for the past 2 weeks she will only sleep at night if I lay her on my chest. She sleeps great this way. I EBF and she will sleep a good 5 hour stretch and then another 3-4 hour stretch.

But I know that its not the safest. She used to sleep in her rock n play great but now if I try to put her in it she wakes up after 10-20 minutes. So frustrating.....

During the day she sleeps great in her swing. Should I bring her swing upstairs and let her sleep in that? Or should I just let her sleep on me until she decides shes ok with sleeping in the rnp again? Help!
