My baby is 3.5 weeks and has the same problem. Wants to be carried all the time, cries the moment he’s put down. It takes 1 hour of carrying to get him to fall into deep enough sleep that we can put him down, and even then he only naps about 10-15 mins before he’s up and wants to be carried again. Does anyone know if this is a phase they will grow out of, or is this a habit/sleep pattern that will persist?
Same with my baby. She only contact naps. so I use a carrier in order to get things done. she's 1 year now. there are times she can nap on her own there are times she wants to contact naps. definitely got better over the months. jiayou mummies! babies just feel safe when they're close to us. it frustrates me at times too but it'll get better!
Sameee. My baby turned 2 months last week. I'm stuck with him because he cannot do without contact nap. 😩 He sleeps very well tummy down on my chest. Can KO for 2-3 hours straight. But if i put down, straight away cry, or sleep for max 15mins only. I try to do 1 long contact nap in the afternoon. Other times just keep to cat naps. No choice.
Yes definitely a 2mo phase! As my baby was too short to fit into the ergobaby carrier I had, I used the stroller instead. So I just push her everywhere I go while I pump or do housework. Works pretty well for me. She’s turning 2 soon ☺️.
My baby s been demanding contact naps since 9 weeks old (he wasnt clingy before that), we are now at 11th weeks and he is still very clingy but slowly improving. i think it is a phase.. just waiting for it to be over.
Same here. My baby is almost 2 months old.
