3 month old cries every time they go in crib since the holidays

Hi all,
My 3 month old cries every time she is put in her crib since coming back from the holidays. She will fall asleep in our arms and as soon as we try to transfer her she is up and crying. She was perfectly happy sleeping in her crib before but now it’s nearly impossible to get her to stay asleep in her crib. It’s so frustrating. Any advice on what’s worked?

We also had this happen. Sounds like the 4 month sleep regression starting at the earlier end of the scale similar to what happened with our baby. Look into sleep programs or training to see what might work for you. I'm trying out the little ones program which was 50% off recently.

I've also heard great feedback on taking Cara babies courses but they're more pricey.

is it working? Have you seen any progress?

It’s happening to us too, my 3.5 month old only wants to fall asleep on us and it’s impossible to transfer him. He now wakes up after 10-20 minutes nap during the day where he used to do 2 hour naps. Not sure what to do!

Same here with our 3.5 month old baby! We are trying to implement the little ones routine - going to the third day now. First ones weren’t easy: lots of cry/fight to nap and sleep, and waking up screaming multiples time in the first 2 hours of his night.

Will report back if any progress! Also curious to hear from

We haven't been consistent with the program yet because of the holidays and being out of town and all the errands we've had to do since coming back. You really need a few weeks at home doing almost nothing in order to implement the program well.

She's still wanting to sleep with us in bed instead of her bassinet but her feedings are becoming more consistent and I'm hoping if we can bail down the sleep schedule that will help as well. We did get one night on Tuesday where she stayed in her bassinet all night.

We're trying the no cry approach so it will take longer than other methods where you allow some crying before you check in.

I also need to do more reading on the little ones app to be able to help implement the routines for us.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.
