My baby is 5 weeks old and has consistently struggled to sleep without being held. 9 times out of 10 during the day and night I can get her to sleep by rocking, bouncing, wearing her or nursing her but within 10 minutes of laying her down (no matter where we lay her) she wakes up and we start all over. It takes anywhere from 30 min to 3 hours to get her back to sleep again. The daytime waking I can deal with, but I am so desperate to get some sleep at night. Any and all tips are welcome!
Re: Desperate for sleep at night!
Yes I have also had that problem with baby #3 same thing happened to me...until I put him to sleep on his tummy instead of his back....I know that it is suppose to be back to sleep but my baby would not stay asleep til the day I put him to sleep on his tummy he is now 2 months old and is sleeping through the night 6-7 hours on his tummy.
