Only sleeping when being held

I haven’t got a solution unfortunately but my little boy is the same at the moment. He used to sleep really well in his cot, only waking once and for the past few weeks, he just won’t let me put him down. We end up co sleeping

No real advice but its probably just a phase. My LO was like that and now sleeps through the night. I just kept the same routine and eventually it got better 💜

She actually sleeps ok during the night ! It’s the day that’s tough!!

Me too, bedtime (9/9:30) until about 6/7am she’ll happily sleep in the next to me (3 wake ups during that time) but after that it’s contact napping only. She’ll settle when we go for a walk in the pram and eventually fall asleep but wakes up as soon as we’re home again. I try to put her down when she’s in a deep sleep so I can get some rest but as soon as she realises she’s alone it’s game over. I just want a nap too 😫

We’re exactly the same at the . I was trying to figure out if it was where I was putting her down but thinking now it’s just a phase! grateful it’s not effecting the nights though 🥲

Our 3 week old is the same both in the night and for day naps. We’re looking after her in shifts. Following in case someone has any ideas! Hoping ours will grow out of it in the next few weeks - we’ve tried everything

I’m here reading the comments relieved if it’s just not me and my 3 week old. I’m out of ideas and have decided to roll with it. I’ve been told “you get used to the sleep deprivation”. Me and my husband do shifts with her. Wear a sling so we can do things.

My baby is 5 weeks old and I have a similar problem.. She’ll fall asleep on me after a change and feed, but I have to make sure she’s in a deep sleep otherwise when I put her in her Moses basket (even though she looks sparko) you hop into bed thinking yes! But after 5-10mins she stirs, then when you look, she’s laying there with her eyes wide open, sussing out what’s going on. She starts whining and throwing her arms around, then cries until she’s picked up. She goes red and gets really frustrated and worked up. I’ve had a couple of lucky moments where she has managed to settle herself.. making her little frustrated noises trying to fight it but is so tired that she’s fallen asleep. I just stood nearby but out of sight and if she started to get louder or cry, I tried putting a dummy in or stroking her face a little but then stepping back. When she naps in the evening, I’ve been putting her in her Moses basket to get her more use to it, maybe keep trying that?

Mine is the same. We have found a feed, wind, swaddle and dummy process can get him down in his bed at the start of the night for a few hours. After the first feed though, I've got nothing. My husband sprayed me with perfume one night before I went to bed and it was the longest my baby has gone in his next to me!

Exactly the same for us!!! Will sleep for 5 hours on us at a time if we let her but the second we set her down it’s all hell breaking loose! 🥲

Did anyone’s baby progress?
