Baby will only sleep when held

Elizabeth

Alright ladies another one of these posts. My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow and will only nap when held. She will also wake up 1-6x after you lay her down in her crib to sleep at night. She does wake up once after that and will just want to come lay with me (I know my own fault) and she will fall fast asleep. I need some good training ideas! If she wakes up and I go in to soothe her, she gets more upset when I don’t pick her up so that one is a no go. I also don’t want to CIO. I will let her fuss but when it gots to actually crying I will get her. What helped you ladies? I sleep on an air mattress in her room (she would only sleep in the living room for whatever reason when she was first born so we didn’t want to try and get her used to our bedroom then her bedroom). I don’t want to co sleep forever. It’s starting to take a toll on “Mommy/Daddy time”. Help please ☹️
