Baby hates crib

Lol, I'm laughing because I feel you and can relate. No advice. Just letting you know you're not alone.

I ask myself that everyday 😭😭 same situation over here 😭😅

We had a dropside bassinet pulled up flush to my side of the bed and I'd put my son down in it asleep and lay down in bed, literally like 10 inches away tops, and he'd wake up within 20 minutes every time, apparently that was too far away 😂

Yep, same… i just co sleep xd i gave up 😂

Same!!

Lmfao y’all are killing me! Good to know I’m not alone. It’s so damn frustrating!

My only advice is probably stuff you've heard and tried before. Frustrating, I know! My girl HATED (still does but it's getting better) going to bed literally at all. Shes breastfed and would only want to sleep while latched. I started only nursing her outside of the bedroom and moving her last feed before bed to before her bath. I also incorporated more things into her routine: nurse, bath, brush teeth, say goodnight to the baby in the mirror, say goodnight to all the pets and people in the house, diaper, lotion, jammies/sleep sack, then we read the same bedtime story, turn on her nightlight and turn off the main light, and sing the same song a couple times while standing and rocking. She eventually relaxes and falls asleep. Then I can lay her down and even if she wakes up she will go back to sleep with some back pats, and then I can leave the room. It looks like a lot written out but it's really not lol. This did NOT work at first. It took a LOT of practice for a few weeks.

@Eka me currently lol

Babies are hardwired for connection, they're going to seek it at the time that they're most vulnerable, which is when they are asleep, at night time. My son hated the crib at all times of day, so we ended up co-sleeping with a side car crib. Around 7 months I started getting six to seven hours of solid sleep a night because he could latch when he wanted, and I wasn't having to go to another room or get up out of bed to feed him. My best advice is: Side car crib Safe sleep 7

Girl I got tired of it and just co-sleep lol

He really wanted just someone to hold at night but by next year he will be in his bed

Ive been told by my pediatrician that it's cuz instinctually they know nighttime is more dangerous than daytime and as babies think of themselves as extensions of us until 1-3 years old depending on the kid us being away from them or leaving them alone at nighttime can be very upsetting for them. In the daytime is one thing, at night they wanna be close to us, and some babies are more in tune with their instincts than others so not everyone struggles with this the same way.

They want to feel safe and close to mama. Cosleeping is the only way I managed and now I love it so much.

It took my LO forever to fall asleep in her crib. We just kept putting in her in there after she fell asleep in our bed. White noise under crib or classical music helped
