baby keeps waking up and dw to sleep
is anyone facing similar situation whereby baby (1m old) only sleeps when u carry, and wakes up once u put down in the cot? any ways to make baby slp? am avoiding yao lan currently as its risky if baby flips etc.
That's normal. The first month is definitely crazy. Almost no sleep and baby is clinging on to u 24/7. My firstborn would cry so much and worse he hated the swaddle so i was glued to the bed all the time. My 2nd baby now 2 months not as bad but will still cry when put down. But now tt she's 2 months, she can sleep longer. I'll always breastfeed her to sleep and let her latch till I see she's in deep sleep. How to know? When you put up baby's hand he/she won't stir or wake up. Make sure u have him/her swaddled first before latching. After that, I'd put baby slowly down, butt first. I also realised that she can slp longer when I put her in the cocoon nest in her cot. Without it, she would easily startle and wake up faster.
