Understand that the recommended average sleeping hours for 3mths old baby is approx 15hours. While my son can sleep in his cot at night, he needs to be carried to sleep in the day time. If not, he won't sleep at all.. It's creating a hassle since the adults can't do anything else other than carrying him to sleep.. I am exploring the option of getting a yao lan for baby. In honest opinion, which best alternative should I go for: (1) intro yao lan, (2) continue to carry him to sleep, (3) CIO method - leave him in the cot and crying it out? anxious about the no.of hours sleeping he is getting..

My baby is 10 weeks old and we have been taking turns to carry her to sleep when my hubby is at home otherwise I have to keep carrying her. Same, at night she sleeps fine it's just day time. Recently started to train her by putting her down in her cot, talking to her letting her watch her mobile till tired. I will observe her tired cues like fussing and eating her hand and give her pacifier and pat her. Just need to be patient and not carry her when she toss n turn n make noise. Eventually when she dozed off she will spit out the pacifier, usually that means she in deep sleep.
