First time mum needing help of all you experienced mums!
My boy is 3.5 months and a big boy weighing over 16 lbs. Have walked/rocked/bobbed him up and down to sleep pretty much since birth, and now he is too heavy to do this. Getting worried as I am going to end up hurting my back then won't be able to lift him at all.
Every nap is taking 20-30 mins of this...And he naps for only 40 mins. It is soul destroying...not to mention killing my arms, back, wrists etc. Cries every time I put him down. Have tried the settling, shh'ing, patting etc but none of this seems to work. Don't feel ready to leave him to cry as I think he is too young...
Created this problem myself I know but desperately need some advice to stop this. Anyone experienced and found anything that works? Please.
Thank you.
