Not sleeping enough

I have the same problem, my baby is 7 weeks old today and won’t sleep without me. I’ll get him to sleep in my arms and within 10-20 minutes of me transferring him into his crib he’s crying. It’s 5am now and he hasn’t slept more than 20 mins in the crib tonight. I’m a single mum and doing this with no support and no sleep. I was getting upset no more than 10 minutes ago, left the room and let him cry it out whilst I had a couple of minutes, I’ve come back in and he isn’t asleep yet but he is trying to settle himself. I don’t know if this is going to work or if he’ll cry in the next 10 minutes but this is the furthest I have gotten all week. Since I’m going through it myself I don’t have any advice but to be persistent as I’m doing. Don’t get him out if he cries, keep giving him his dummy, if it’s persistently crying then get him to sleep in your arms again and try once more otherwise put him down leave the room and come back once you’ve had a minute and he may settle himself! ☺️

My baby is the same, but she won’t go in her next to me cot at all or fall asleep
Independently😫she will only sleep if she’s rocked, patted & walked around. If I try to transfer her anywhere she wakes up asap🤣I’ve tried absolutely everything!!

I now co-sleep (my midwife actually suggested to try it) she now has 2-3 hour stretches! It’s literally saved me x

He doesnt like to lay in bed either unless is on me 😩 are we hoping this magically going to change soon?

I went through very similar nights with my firstborn, back and forth from the cot all night, crying my eyes out at times - it’s so hard. I know it’s not for everyone, but learning how to safely cosleep saved me. I’ve been cosleeping with this baby (6 weeks) since we got home and life has felt much more relaxed, and less sleep deprived. I follow the safe sleeping 7 - check out the lullaby trust for more guidance.
