Does anyone elses breastfed baby not like to be put down at all? It's impossible at night no matter what I put him in he's 2.5 weeks... He wakes up almost instantly my other 2 weren't breastfed and they loved their swing and slept in the bassinet no problem at night. Any suggestions?
Thank you everyone! It's been like this since we left the hospital. And immediately as soon as I get him he passes out. And yes I have sleep sacks and Velcro swaddles I use every night I'm not complaining about it, I was just wondering if breastfed babies cling onto mom a little more. I'm going to try the shirt idea I was thinking about it!
We bought my daughter these “sleep sacks” from carters and she LOVES them. We used to swaddle her too when she was a newborn and it helped. She slept in her bassinet next to me. She nursed often. We also bought a sounds spa which helps her sleep. She now sleeps on her own through the night.
Swaddling, tuck something that smells like you in the mattress where baby sleeps, you’re also in a developmental stone around this time so it’s common for baby to nurse often, and cling to you.
@gvarra92, yeah they are definitely more clingy took a little bit to get her used to sleeping in her bed
