Since we are stay at home moms does anyone else struggle with trying to get baby to sleep in their crib for naps or letting them sleep in your arms because they will only be little once.? I go back and forth about this all the time. Doctor says I should try to let her self soothe (which never works) and then other people tell me to enjoy this time because she won’t want to be held and rocked forever. If I let her take a nap in my arms she falls asleep right away, if I try to lay her down awake and let her “self soothe” she’s wide awake and eventually starts crying, she never can seem to get settled down enough to fall asleep on her own. I like the fact that she can fall asleep so quickly in my arms because if we are out and about it’s not a struggle to get her to nap in my arms.
