My 3 mo just had bed strike last night. As I tried to put her on the bed, every single time she would wake up. But when I hold her she was sleeping peacefully. Struggled from 7 pm to midnight and finally she cried herself to sleep. Anyone experience this?

My son did that too and I had to fall asleep sitting up. Like all the ladies have said, it will pass. I guess I suffered only a few days. Maybe not let her cry herself to sleep? I think its quite damaging to the body and her sense of security. You can try a pacifier and think of how to wean off at a later stage. She probably just needed some comfort from hugging and your smell.

Big hugs mommy. It is pretty normal. Sometimes it's either over simulation or could be other things which is disturbing them. Try spending more time with baby during the day

I had the exact experience as you before. It was hectic and hell. But it was just a phase which lasted for a week and it became back to normal. Hang in there.
