Techniques to transfer baby to his crib

Exact same thing happened with mine. My response was to start sleep training. We did the Ferber method. A few days of heavy crying, but after the first week we’ve been able to put him in the crib wide awake and he’ll fall asleep on his own within 10 minutes. It was the right call for my LO.

Just putting it out there but do you put him down butt first? Laying them flat can create the sensation of falling so it's typically better to lower them in butt first, then head last. Dunno if that helps. Some babies can just deadass sense the second you start to put them down. 😅

Tbh my baby only sleeps on her stomach so I have to put her down that way 🥲 If I place her on her back, she wakes up right away

Going through the same thing right now with my 5 almost 6 months old

You’ve likely tried all these, but just in case:
1. Warming crib first (beanie, warmie, or hot water bottle)
2. Using a worn shirt as a sheet or in the crib loose
3. Laying down baby on their tummy (if baby can lift head and turn both ways, it’s safe).

What honestly worked for me was gently laying them down, while you lay them down, bend your whole body with them so they still feel you as they are going down and once you have them down, gently apply pressure with gentle patting for a few secs.

Remember- consistency and patience is key.

Good luck mama 💕
