Being a mom to 5 week old and a 2 1/5 year old is not easy! Especially when my 5 week old wants to be held AALL the…

@mamajuls31, yea well she kind of puts herself like that because she works her arms out of the blanket 🙊 but I will try what you did hopefully it works! 😬

@baby22016, awww!!!! Well I hope you figure something out mama!! Have you tried swaddling only her bottom half and leaving her arms out? That could also help..

@carmanbaby, that's good that you've been having some progress! Hope it continues, because I know the struggle 😕...@mamajuls31 I will have to try that! The only thing is she hates being swaddled, she wiggles herself out 🙁 everytime i swaddle her up, she starts moving and fussing! It's hard, I feel like I can't get anything done around 😞 thank you I will try it! 😊

@baby22016, my son was like that but, I got him to outgrow it.. Try swaddling her then laying her down and if she crys let her for a good 60 secs then pat her and hold her fingers to let her know you're still there keep doing that but space out the patting like to 3 mins.. 5 mins... If she is still crying That's how my son started sleeping in his crib and he can put himself to sleep now all I do is lay him down lol! Every child is different just thought I'd through my opinion it may help... Good luck!!!!

I swaddled mine up last night after changing her and giving her gas drops she eat then she was out she woke up at 230 to eat again then back to sleep this was the first night recently I got to sleep without her I been sitting her down during then day I let her cry a little bit then pick her up I really hope mine keeps doing this

@carmanbaby, mine turns 6 weeks the 30th! They're only a day apart! And yyess you know exactly how I feel then! I wonder how long it will take for her to outgrow it..my back hurts from carrying her all the time 😞 I hope it gets better!!

My daughter does the same thing she will be 6 weeks on the 29th I'm actually surprised she slept in her crib last night
