Baby won’t sleep unless held

Robin

Is anyone else struggling with this? My baby is 9 weeks and won’t nap or sleep without being held. He will be fast asleep and I will put him down and he wakes right up and starts crying, and won’t stop until he is picked up by me. He won’t even sleep in my husbands arms, only mine. I feel so exhausted!

I’ve read things other people have done and tried about everything. Warmed the area he sleeps in, swaddled him (he hates his arms confined) putting my shirt in his crib, putting him down drowsy, putting him down asleep, being consistent and keep putting him down (one time I tried over 7 times), using white noise, etc. nothing works.

I just don’t know what to do and I feel so worn down. He takes 4-5 naps in a day and I can’t get anything done. I do baby wear sometimes, but I would really like for him to be able to be put down to nap and sleep.

Any other suggestions? This mama needs some major help!!!
