Baby in arms?🤦🏻‍♀️

Question

Well, my baby is two months old and she needs to sleep in arms of my husband or in mine. I do not what to do because if she stays in the crib, she starts crying until someone grab her🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

My daughter takes naps in her carrier on me and at night sleeps next me. This is the only way we get sleep and save anxiety for both of us

Answer

I could use help too, my baby naps only in arms. But at night thank God,  she sleeps in bassinet part of the night. We swaddle her really well, and put a warm hot pad on the bassinet to warm it up, then obviously take it off before putting her down, and as long as we put her down in a deep sleep she will stay. I have heard putting a shirt of yours tightly on the bassinet, helps too.
I have also heard to do a gradual thing, have them lay snuggled next to you with your arm around them, then remove your arm then move a few inches away... Not sure that works tried it for naps once.

Answer

My baby was the same until 6weeks old, refused to be put down anywhere and had to sleep in arms or on laps. Absolutely exhausting. Finally now he is able to be put down in his bed at night. I have a chicco Next2me side sleeping cot attached to my bed so he's very close. Occasionally I bring him in to my bed and we do safe Co sleeping.
Day time he won't go in his moses basket (I always insist he sleeps in whatever room I'm in, day or night) so I let him nap on my lap or put him in the carrier.
You'll get there. Keep trying. Each time you go to put him down make sure you're trying his bed first a good few times.
We got our boy used to it by trying a couple of different methods - intuitively I would wait until he had drifted off in my arms into a very deep sleep (floppy arm test) and then transfer him. This worked probably less than half the time as he'd either get disturbed or wake up shortly after. Either way when he woke he'd realise he was alone in there and cry.
My husband tried an opposite strategy. He would put Joe in his basket while he was awake, but perhaps a little drousy or due a nap. He would maintain eye contact, and keep his hands on him, whilst either singing (cute!) or talking saying reassuring things. He would then patiently sit talking to him and touching him the whole time, gentle rocking, using one hand to hold his knees up so legs in frog position (this works wonders to soothe him!) and basically sit doing that until Joe fell asleep! Takes the patience of a Saint and a good 20-30 minutes. But Joe eventually learnt that it's safe to fall asleep there. Obvs not gunna have the patience to do that at 3am,but I recommend it for the day time. I also leave an old PJ top in there that smells like me or you could plop some expressed milk on the sheet if you BF
