I made a huge mistake!!!_ baby won't calm down unless he's held... and now unless he's in my bed he wakes up constantly.…

Swaddling is just like being held

I am having the same problem but there isn't a right or wrong way I feel we are all new moms learning, doesn't mean your kid is going to grow up a certain way or grow up wrong. We just got to do the best ♡

Also if your scared about the baby sleeping on your chest put two pillows under both arms that way the baby won't slide down.

@exoticyuri, no way at this age he's too young to cry it out . Just ignore everyone and do what your motherly instinct tells you. Newborns cry a lot sometimes because like I said they are getting used to the world and they want you close because that's all they know is momma. If you changed and fed your baby and still crying it could be colic! My first had very bad colic and cried forever!!! I thought it was never ending but I tried gripe water that that helped tons for my second too. The first month or so you barely get sleep. Mommin ain't easy but it's so worth it to see those beautiful little babies happy.

Starting at 2 months I let my daughter cry it out. As long as you know you did everything for him, he has a clean diaper on, is fed, and nothing is wrong with him. My girl would whine for a minute and then go to sleep. And @exoticyuri, it is NOT your fault! You are doing the right thing for the first few months you are supposed to be getting him when he cries.

@exoticyuri, Thats what you are supposed to do! It is your child, don't let anyone tell you that the way you take care of him is wrong! There is plenty of time later to get him out of that IF you so choose.

@exoticyuri he is too young

Enjoy these times with your son because I promise you you will miss it!

At this age, they need you, a ton.

Like @ecahanes said, wait a bit to do the cry it out thing. My Olivia can sleep in her cradle next to our bed, (she was in the NICU for 3 weeks, so she can handle being by herself) but I also need her snuggles at night sometimes too. (We block her with a wedge pillow for her head and a boppy around her body, so we don't squish her)

He just left the comfort of your womb. He's been with you 24/7 for 9ish months. He got evicted and now has to adjust to life outside the comfort of you. He has to work for his meals now, so he's going to let you know when he needs you the only way he knows now, with noise.

@ecahanes, omg thank you@mimprince, @nicolem10021, @beverlystory13, @kigercass, everyone is making me feel like it's my fault and could have been avoided if I didn't run to him every time he cried or breastfeed him in bed... I felt like I was screwing up. My boyfriend Sid to let him cry and we got into a argument about it cause I feel he's too young.

He's two weeks old it's completely normal you are not suppose to do the "cry it out" until 4 months

Sounds like it's a newborn still. That's perfectly normal. Babies rely on their mothers a whole lot to feel comfort in the first months

You won't scare him for life over this. It'll be hard but sometimes it's best just to let them cry it out (depending how old the baby is) and even he'll fall asleep

My baby girl slept on my chest for the first month. Up till the 2nd month she slept in a bassinet but she woke up like every 3 hours. After she got her 2 months shots she has been sleeping in her crib in our room and She sleeps through the night. She is now three months old and she doesn't like it when we try to hold her and put her to sleep. She wants to be in her crib to go to sleep. I miss our little cuddles 😞

They just need time getting used to the outside world and want to be close to you! Just like your body needs adjusting so do they. My baby slept the first 2 months on my chest it's the only way we all got sleep. They are only little once. Before you know it you will be missing the snuggles.

@shyshy2.3, trying a pacifier for the first time now

@shyshy2.3, i tried that

Try swaddling him it will make him feel comfort even when not being held(:
