Please can someone advise us on the best course of action as we are at wits end.
DS is just over 3 months old and sleeps great at night. We put him down (already asleep) in the bedside crib and he sleeps through until 5:30/6:00am.
The problem is during the day where he will only sleep if he is being held. I've tried lying him in the carrycot/cot when he's tired but he won't go over asleep. I've tried getting him to sleep in my arms then putting him down - he wakes as soon as he is laid down.
I know there are people who will come along saying to just enjoy it, and I have for the last three months, but I can't get anything done at all during the day as I have a baby stuck to me. Slings don't work, he won't sleep in them at all.
I attempted the pick up/ put down yesterday but after two hours of us both in tears I had to give up. Felt like I'd failed him
Please help with any advice you have. Actually, what I really want is someone to come round and sort it out in an afternoon - I can pay in MN gin!
