Drowsy but awake

Whitney

So before my son Had his two month shots he was napping twice a day in his crib I was putting him down drowsy but awake with white noise, after his shots he was so upset and wouldn’t sleep on his own for a few weeks. Now he is going through sleep regression and i cannot put him down anywhere (he was sleeping in his swing and only waking once a night) and now we see every hour unless he’s in bed with me and even then we’re still up about three times a night. I’m exhausted and feeling like a failure. During the day he will only nap in my arms, I have tried all my old tricks and nothing works to get him to nap in his own space (I know this could be because of the regression) but I’m going back to work mid September and I don’t want to set him up for failure in daycare because he needs to be held to sleep. Any tips or advice would be appreciated😭

This is him after I put him down drowsy now, he wakes up immediately and will lay there squirming around and not fall asleep no matter how long I put him down.
