Getting 8 week old to sleep in pack n play
Any tips? He's my third so you would think I'd have it figured out by now, but no. He's proving to be the hardest. My first, once we got past the first 2 months started sleeping from 6:30-3:30, then 3:30 -6:30. She was so easy. It took no work. My second was a little harder but he would go to sleep in the pack n play and stay asleep at least for a couple hours at a time. This little guy tho, he started out doing great, 2-3 hour stretches in the pack n play. And I could lay him down awake and he'd fall asleep on his own without any fussing. Over the last month tho, it's slowly gotten worse. He will only last anywhere from a few min to maybe an hour. It will get to a point where I'm so tired that eventually after hours of that, I'll lay him next to me so I can sleep a little bit. If I do that, he can go sometimes up to 7 hours sleeping straight. However, I wake up in a panic bc it worries me having him in bed with me. I'm a light sleeper and pretty aware, but it still scares me. So... if anyone has advice as to what worked for them, I'd love to hear it! Thank you!
**note: yes he's swaddled and my other 2 kids are 3 & 4 and sometimes my husband works late days. So having him go to sleep in his pack n play is what I need so I can get the other 2 in bed. He is super fussy being up past 7, so if I try to just hold him while getting them ready for bed, he will cry and fuss the whole time.
