Hi mummies, when i pat my LO to sleep, I will either put her down on bed or mat. 5-10 mins later, she will wake up. Likewise, if i use a baby carrier and put her down, she will scream at the top of her voice and gets really cranky. This is frustrating as I can't do any housework. Any mummies encounter this and how to deal with it?

Hi how old is your baby? Although it sounds very impossible now but as your baby gets older the sleeping will be better! Just have to hang in there for 3 months. My gal has sleeping problems initially too. There was no way she could nap for more than 10mins on bed , on rocker or anywhere except if she is on my chest or in the carrier. She gets startled and wakes easily and has a hard time falling asleep. It was really depressing for me that time and I have to take turns with my mom to carry her all day. Using a yaolan (electric cradle) did help so you should consider getting one . Have you also tried to swaddle her tightly? Another option is let her sleep on her tummy? I did that for a few times and my gal can nap Abit longer. But most of the time in those first few months my gal was always in the carrier and housework etc I have to seek other family members help for the being. But trust me it gets better!
