Baby is too attached ?

Question

Hello, my baby is almost 2 months old and I have been sleeping with her but now I’m trying to get her to sleep in her crib however, she starts crying a couple of minutes after I leave her there. And also she only wants to be with me all the time not even with her dad she wants me and I’m worried because I will be going back to work soon and it’s starting to worry me. Do you guys have any tips? What can I do about this?

Answer

I swaddle my little one and then feed him and he normally goes to sleep after eating. Or sometimes like tonight when he’s fussy. I feed him, give him a bath with lavender nighttime baby soap and then swaddle him and hold him until he falls asleep and then place him in his bassinet. When I do that he falls asleep like 10 minutes after I swaddle him.

Answer

Google it, there’s lots of tips and articles on how to stop Ned sharing of sleeping at every age.
A great sleep book I read said with babies it takes 3 days to make a habit and 7 days to break one. 
Much much easier to break a bad sleep habit in a newborn than a 4 month old. Just do it cold turkey and weather the storm of crying for a few days and it’ll improve. When they’re tired they sleep. And their natural drive to sleep longer stretches at night is a powerful one that strengthens and extends every week or two at this age. Baby should definitely be able to sleep 3-4 hours on their own at night at this age, just have faith in that fact and don’t give in. 
You can read more about it but basically…Let baby fuss a bit, if it escalates to full on crying pat their chest and shush them, if they don’t deescalate, pick them up and jiggle and sway and shush and pat till they settle and are drowsy again and put them back down, a few chest pats and leave them. Repeat as many times as necessary.
