Baby Won't Sleep Unless She's Carried Or Sleeping On Me
My baby needs to be carried or rocked to sleep or sleep on my body. Once put down she wakes up and not able to continue sleeping. Is this a common newborn thing? She's 6 weeks now. How to train her to continue sleeping when put down.
Hey mama, Congratulations on your little one! At 6 weeks, baby might also be going through a growth spurt where they may fuss a lot more than usual or drink a lot more too. Further, I’d like to add that at 6 weeks, baby still longs for the smell and touch of mama for comfort. Just to put this in perspective - about 6 weeks ago, your LO was in the womb. All she heard was your heartbeat, your voice and your partners voice (in muffled tones no doubt) and your smell. She’s had to learn to breathe on her own not to long ago, get accustomed to new ways of ‘eating’, sounds, feelings, colours, etc. It’s all very overwhelming! So wanting mama near for comfort and assurance is only natural. Would baby wearing be a possible option? Hope this helps and do hang in there! I know it gets tiring but they do grow out of these precious stages so quickly and before you know it we’ll be missing them :) Take care!
