LO won't sleep without being held??

Question

I LOVE sleeping with my little man, but he's 4.5 weeks and won't sleep more than 10 minutes and will not stop screaming if I put him down. I've tried waiting until he's passed out, drowsy, all states. He is fine on his back when he's awake so I don't think it's reflux. I don't get much sleep because of it and I am definitely not productive during the day when I can't put him down. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on how to get him??

Answer

Safe bedsharing

Answer

Mine was the same. 
Try wrapping your arm around baby. I do that until he falls asleep or put my cheek on his cheek. Sometimes our room is really dark he probably feels alone

Answer

A rock n play and a good swaddle (I used the swaddleme velcro swaddle myself) were lifesavers for me at 4 weeks

Answer

Maybe try propping him at an incline?

Answer

The good ol' days. Fortunately, my daughter is now 4 months going on 5 and let me tell you, it gets easier hun. The first weeks are the hardest and you have to remember your baby needs you the most right now. They need help to fall asleep.
