Fighting sleep

She is almost 11 weeks old and will not fall asleep without a fight. Baby girl has to be held when she does. She has only fallen asleep in her swing 3 times and buy herself 1 time. Other times we have tried she will scream so hard her face gets red quick. When she gets tired, even when I catch it right away, she will cry until she falls asleep.

    Does she take a pacifier or suck on a finger? That's the only thing that works for us.

  • She doesn't get a pacifier and she only sucks on her fingers when she is hungry.
  • My son does this too. He's also 11 weeks. He will fall asleep in my arms and I'll hold him for a while to make sure he is really asleep. The moment I set him down he starts screaming. Hopefully it's just a phase.
  • Do you swaddle? My daughter sleeps terrible without being wrapped up tight. I actually had to start bringing her swaddle in to daycare because she hardly slept without it. We had to try a few different ones but she likes the Halo Sleepsack Swaddle the best.
