Son won't sleep unless I'm holding him, going insane
My 8 week old will only fall asleep if I'm holding him. The second I put him down in the bassinet he wakes up screaming. I've tried the whole put him down before he's fully asleep thing but nope. My wife and I are running on fumes here. Is this normal? When does this get better? I love my kid but man I just want to sit on the couch without a baby attached to my chest
I feel your pain. At 3 months my son was still doing this and I was absolutely exhausted. Someone told me the contact naps are actually good for development so I just leaned into it. Got a good book and some snacks and made peace with it for a while. It does eventually get better.
