I need some serious advice 😔

My daughter is 2.5months. She will NOT sleep alone, therefore we’ve been cosleeping. I don’t mind cosleeping but it scares me. When I put her down she wakes up 5min later and begins screaming. Swaddling doesn’t work,, I’ve even ordered different types 🤦🏽‍♀️ she won’t go to anyone else either for more than 20min tops. How did you transition your little one? I’m at a loss!!

Wear a shirt all day long. Do as much activites as yoi can. Swaddle her in it at night. She will like you're holding her.

My son was the same way his first 9/ 10 months of life! It was awful. He had to sleep with me, it was the only way either one of us would get any sleep. I tried EVERYTHING. I tried sticking to a routine, warm baths, lavender, cereal in the bottles. Nothing worked. One day he woke up and was okay sleeping through the night. He’s 2 now!

I had the same thing with my son and just continued the co-sleeping from birth until about 5 months when he finally started sleeping in his Moses basket. I did discuss his sleeping with my midwife and she was a great support. Just make sure you are following the guidelines and you should be fine.

My daughter was like this the first several weeks. I figured she probably wanted to feel me close, so I took off the side railing of her crib and pushed it up against my side of the bed. Also added a little night light because she had a fear of the dark I suppose. Afterwards, she slept fine and it was like co sleeping but I barely noticed and worried because she was in her own crib and I could just look over to see her beside me.

You can try a warm rice bag beside the lower body. Not near the face or neck
