Putting baby down for a little while

I feel your pain, my boy is very difficult to put down too. Even if he’s fallen asleep on the boob, when I try and put him down he’s immediately awake and raging! Sometimes he will chill out for half hour looking at himself in the mirror or with his high contrast image book but most of the time he needs to be held. If he goes in the car seat he screams until he passes out and sometimes he will be asleep in the car seat for over an hour. But other than that he needs constant holding. I tell
Myself it’s just for now, and I do really love the cuddles, but it does make it very hard to get any housework done or get changed or eat lol x

Same with my 6 week old. She’s been like this since week 2, haven’t found any solutions yet. The longest independent nap I’ve gotten out of her is by putting her down on her side in the bassinet and having my BF pillow laying against her back to make her feel there’s someone there but means you have to be hovering over them to make sure they don’t roll onto their front. I’ve been told to start putting them down for at least one nap a day in their bassinet and straight into the crib for the first stretch of sleep before moving them into bed with you, trying it daily but not getting more than 5 mins before she’s crying. Both haven’t worked yet but trying to stay consistent everyday! It’s tough but I’m hoping she’ll grow out of it, definitely been utilising the sling last few weeks but still hard to get things done. Good luck x

we haven’t managed to use the bassinet yet but I’ll give the pillow trick a go!
