baby keeps waking up and dw to sleep

If u can manage, hold the baby while sleeping. This is crazy tiring but babies are attuned to their mothers they literally need touch and our smell. Its a need and not a manipulation technique ( in case some genius say). Anything else is just risky! like swing, putting pillow on baby for the weight etc. It was mentally crazy and exhausting to just sit and hold baby for hours every day but it beats baby being in distress. If u dont need to cook clean etc i took this route and put baby first haha. Any one else might say stupid ah hold baby for hours and hours, but eleven months later my baby is super stable emotionally, trusting, independently going to sleep without rocking holding (stopped holding around four months actually), just latching n sleeping one to two hour stretches for naps. Also super social and bright because basic needs met and trust established. Check out Maslow's hierarchy, and Erik Erikson Psycosocial dev. It all starts from infancy ☺️ Its okay its tiring n sucky now but baby needs u. Hang in there!!!!
