any tips? my daughter is 7 weeks old. she hates her swing an crib basically everything. she has to be held or she will…

Not at all. He slepy on my chest for a while! It wss his home! My baby just has to feel mu face from time to time so hell hit me😂😂😂😂 just be safe with the little one.

I feel relieved that I'm not the only one who has to let her sleep on my chest... she won't sleep unless she's on my chest or right next to me with her head on my arm an me hugging her. I'm such a light sleeper so I trust myself to not squish her @princess_xox

My son was like that hun. I slept with him on my chest then i slowlh transitioned him sleeping right next to me. So now we cosleep. And he sleeps right next to me. He hates being on me now :( i miss it. It just takes time. My baby will now nap in the swing to. Lol. Just give it time and keep trying

My daughter was like this too. I ended up spending a lot of time letting her sleep on my chest just so that I could rest. But then I bought different sheets for her crib. They are almost like the minky baby blankets. Similar type of material. I bought mine at Target. It kept her bed from feeling cold when she was laid down or when she would scoot around throughout the night. She still didn't sleep all night or anything but it definitely helped.

I dunno how true this is or if it applies to older babies but I read that they fall into a light sleep at first and if they're moved in that time they will wake up but if you hold them for like 20 more mins after they fall asleep and then move them once they're in a deeper sleep they don't wake up that easy

Something similar to this

My daughter is the same way. During the day she'll nap maybe once unless I'm holding her. At night she won't sleep unless I'm holding her so I don't sleep unless I'm holding her. I'm so tired and miss sleeping with my husband. I'm usually on the chaise lounge sleeping with her in my arms. She could be out like a light and I gently lay her down and she's wide awake wanting me to hold her again. I've tried everything my bed lounger and bouncy imaginable

@aliakr have you tried a heating pad on low before putting baby down, i used to have to put it in whereever i was going to put my son down. only for a few minutes then take it out and set him down, i figured out that the coldness would wake him up... or a glove with rice in it warmed up set on him so he thought it was my hand.

Have you tried colic and gas bottles? Also little remedies gas drops are good. I had to use those two with my daughter when she was a newborn. God, she screamed so much! I also laid her on her sides with small pillows in her front torsor and on her back so she could feel held. BUT I know doctors and people don't recommend that because it's not safe. I stopped doing it when I saw my daughter would move around on her own. After that I laid her on the rocker play thing.

Hmm.. she may just not like sleeping on her back. It doesn't mean she does but some babies who have reflux don't like being on their backs but it's so frustrating cause that's the safest way. The only other thing I would know to do is to just talk to her doctor and see what they say. I'm sorry you're so tired!! I've been there

okay I'll try that tonight !! could it be because her stomach problems? @t142

oh I forgot to mention that I have a rock n play which she used to love but now she won't stay in it without screaming :( @blakesmommyyy

Hmm. Sounds like my daughter when she's teething. Try creating a nest around her. Place blankets in a circle and her in the middle. Like a nest. She wants to feel comfort.

You could try a rock and play or a bassinet it makes them feel more cozy and most of them vibrate
