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..

Same with my 2-month-old. She sleeps by herself at night but during the day is so challenging. I have to put her in a carrier so I can do other stuff while she’s resting in it. If they don’t get enough sleep during the day, it could lead to over tiring at night and it’ll be even harder for them to sleep through the night. By the way, letting the baby cry it out at this age won’t work just yet. You should wait at least until 6 months old. Anyway, I have read many articles and they said it’s normal for babies to be clingy at this early age but it will get better. So give them love and attention as they need, it won’t harm them but it’ll instead help them to be more independent later. On the other hand, let them cry for a long period of time will affect them negatively.
