My baby won’t let me put him down to sleep unless he is right under me. I bought a baby lounger nest but he’s not too crazy about it . He also may not be use to it either...IDK ..the lack of sleep is driving me crazy though. Any suggestions on what I should do ?

I’m in the same position as you. My baby is 7 weeks. Still don’t have a solution to this either 😩

So sorry mama! I know the sleep deprivation can really be tough! I’m a pediatric sleep consultant and would love to help. Is he swaddled?

I had to just let mine cry it out. They will eventually get used to sleeping alone. It’s hard at first but with time it will pay off I promise!!

Have you tried baby wearing throughout the day? There is research that it helps babies sleep longer and more comfortably.

My baby is 10 months and has to be right under me too😭😭 if I get up, he gets up n cries. He is literally attached to my boobs😒 I cant weane him off... even if I only breastfeed at night.

Have you tried that sleepy spray massaging balm you kind of spray it where they lay down  it has lavender to calm them down and the massaging balm you rub on the chest the back of their neck and the bottom of the feet it helps relax the baby it has lavender and chamomile I use it on Noah and it helps him go to sleep I also make sure hes swaddled I think that helps him feel like he’s being held

Look into Taking Cara Babies. The newborn class saved my sanity and my sleep when my LG was 9 weeks. She went from sleeping 4-5 hours at most to sleeping 8+ before waking to feed at night in about a week and now at 5 months sleeps 11-12 hours straight at night. She has lots of great free info on her IG and website.
I bought the 5 month bundle. Best $100 I've ever spent

5 hours is good!! I wish I could get past 3😂

This is the perfect time to try laying your baby down awake and guiding them to sleep. Ideally we want to use white noise for all sleep as it helps with sleep cycle connection, also check on your babes wake window lengths! If we try putting our babies down too soon they won't be tired enough for sleep. However they quickly can hit an over tired state making sleep very hard! I have free resources and videos with my own little one who's 3 months old and sleeping 12 hours (no cry it out!!). It's possible!
