Not settling in next to me crib

Very normal. They’ve spent 9 months being close to you, in your warmth, hearing your heartbeat and that’s all they know.

Look into safe cosleeping if you would consider that. It can be done really effectively and safely and leads to greater independence in the long run.

We have considered co sleeping however just worried it may be more difficult when it comes to transferring him to a cot when he gets to 6 months!

My boy was like this. After the first week he would not go in either! So it had to be co sleeping and contact napping for 6 months. He actually transferred to a big cot on his own room alright after that and is a good sleeper now

Have you tried using a hot water bottle to heat the next to me and making sure your baby is in a deep sleep before trying to transfer ? I get mine off to sleep on me first and then when she's in a deep sleep she goes into the next to me with white noise. This doesn't always work as everyone says, babies like to be close to us. But it works sometimes and means I get a better sleep than a Co sleep

We haven't tried a hot water bottle but was a bit worried too in this heat. We've tried white noise, red light and making sure he's in a deep sleep. When hes in there he becomes very unsettled and is usually sick within ten minutes so wondering if possibly reflux if they can get it so young?

We did the same as ! We put that nest in his next to me and then when he got bigger took it out and now he sleeps fine in his next to me even though he wiggles around more now and sleeps diagonal 😂

When he asleep lower bum first, head last to avoid startle reflex

The hot water bottle just warm mattress remove before placing in

nests are not safe for unsupervised sleep.

It’s worth you not becoming unwell from sleep deprivation this early on. I don’t plan to move my baby anywhere until she is ready so maybe not the best person to comment but I love cosleeping.

My baby did the same, we took 3 hour shifts 🙈, after a week at home we tried again and she’s been sleeping in her cot next to us every night since. She’s now 8 weeks.
