Sleep issues!!

our son is a little over 3 months and he will not sleep anywhere other than in his swing or with me or my husband! I've tried putting him in his bassinet or crib Drowsy and asleep and he will be ok for a few minutes then wakes up screaming and will not go back to sleep until you pick him up!

Re: Sleep issues!!

  • Do you swaddle?
  • Loading the player...
  • Flat surfaces dont work for us....the rock n play has saved the family. I keep trying with the pack n play but she has not clicked yet...so maybe you need an incline like that or the swing. Put books under one side of the crib mattress to raise it or get a wedge. Try and keep lo close as possible before hitting the surface.....I would try these things but im with my mom for 2 months in between states/homes sooo no crib up
  • Merlin sleep suit?
  • Love the Rock n Play
  • I have this exact issue!!! But now she is getting too big for her swing so she doesn't really like it now ahhh.. If you get the solution let me know because no advice has worked for us
  • Thank yall! What is the Merlin sleep suit?
    He used to love his rock n play but doesn't like it now! And today he has been arching his back when I put him in the swing so I can't put him in! Too smart!
    He will sleep on the couch flat oni a back beside me, but I will definitely try that with the mattress!
  • My son is 3 months old now and we have the same issues. If I put him to sleep in a Rock N Play he sleeps for hours on end. If I put him in his crib where he is flat on his back, its 30 minutes tops and then hes up again. I don't know what to do myself. He hates to be swaddled. He like to have his hands free and they are usually above his head when he sleeps.
  • Have you tried letting him sleep on his tummy? He may not like being on his back. That's what we did with our son and he sleeps so much better.
  • Yes, get the magic Merlin suit. My LO was sleeping in the RNP as well and this suit got her to now sleep well in her crib.
  • Rock n play all the way! Saved my life!
  • My LO HATES the Rock in play. One of mine is a great sleeper the other thinks sleep is for losers. She fights it... I DID not want to give in to letting them sleep with me bc I was told it's a really hard habit to break but it's the only way I can get her to sleep longer than 30 mins... And then I feel guilty that she is in my bed and not her sister so when her sister wakes up to eat I just let her stay in bed. I know this has absolutely no advice but I am definitely reading everyone's advice and experiences to maybe find something that works with my sleep hater!
