Newborn sleeping arrangements

Kristen

Does anyone else's newborn not want to sleep alone? She cries all night everytime we try and put her down. As soon as we put her on our chest or next to us in bed she's fine. As soon as her back hits the rock n play those eyes fly open and cry she goes. We aren't wanting to co-sleep and haven't been letting her but last night (early morning really) I let her bc I had to get some sleep. How do I make her sleep alone?? She's 4 weeks old and we have been going through a routine every night. She will go through periods where she'll sleep fine other than wanting to get up and eat and then other nights are like this. Help!
