Baby’s wellbeing

Has anyone has similar experience? My baby is close to 2 mths old and currently refused to sleep in her cot. She needs to be carried/rock to sleep. When we tried to put her back to cot, she will wake up around 5-10 mins later,the max half an hr. We had no choice but to let her sleep in those infant lounger). She has been fighting sleep so strongly despite being so tired. We also tried to keep her awake during feeding but she will end up falling asleep in our arms. When we removed the bottle after she finished her feed, she will start to scream. We’re thinking that she still wants to suck? Maybe coz comfort sucking? Nowadays notice that she likes to keep sticking her tongue out like it’s nv enough. Is this a normal phase at this stage? Really don’t want to go thru the CIO method because couldn’t bear to see her scream till that extent!! Is this a stage that eventually will pass?

Its a phase. For me if LO sleep longer on my arms. I would let her sleep rather then LO being overtired and more fussy after. I use carrier sometimes. It is very tiring but hang in there. I lie LO down on my chest after feeds as LO will cry murder when we burp her, which also helps to reduce air LO stomach. also let her sleep on my chest like a koala bear if that helps her sleep more. Once she is in deep sleep ill transfer her. But if she sleeps better on me, id let her sleep and stay awake. Tried giving pacifier? Or you can increase the milk a little bit more and see from there.

I understand your fear of bringing her out cuz its hard since they dont take pacifier. I did bring my LO out since after confinement. But on 2nd month i go out with carrier mostly cuz its a phase of waking up when put down too. My LO loves being outside. Will only wake up for milk and when i walk with her in carrier she will fall aslp. But if i stop will fuss about because she prolly was dozing off and wants me to carry on walking. But i will awaes ensure that she was fed milk before leaving so that she will fall aslp while im on my way. I use to fear bus rides cuz of LO wakes up and cry. But if i cnt coax my LO, i will just drop off the bus and tke the next bus or walk. Same goes for mrt., ill drop and calm her before boarding next train. There was once we went out to dine in at hotel and LO cry murderous and not even i cn coax her. I guess she was overwhelm with that place. It was prolly her development leap period cuz she was extra cranky. Do watch out for growth spurt and developm
