Hi all,
My little girl will be 10 weeks old on Monday and I know it's still really young but she won't nap unless it's on me, being fed to sleep.
She's exclusively breastfed and everywhere I've seen they tell you to avoid being fed to sleep but that's our exact problem. Over the past couple of weeks she seems to be going in her Moses basket okay at night but I cannot get her to sleep during day anywhere unless she's being fed and falls asleep on me. I know this has been discussed on other threads and for some people isn't an issue however it's starting to take it's toll on me as it's often resulting in her taking a tiny snack to sleep so making her feeding pretty difficult.it also means that I can't get anything done (I know housework isn't important etc) but it means I'm sitting in the dark holding my daughter to sounds of the hoover on my phone during the day . I'll be going back to work in a few months (a long time in baby world I know) but have visions of her not napping or only falling asleep with exhaustion after crying when at nursery etc. I just want to avoid bad habits early on. She's never fallen asleep on a playmat or at a baby class like a lot of my friends babies instead she'll cry until she's picked up and then will eventually fall asleep on me, it also means it's very hard for my husband to take her for a short period of time because she's so reliant on me to sleep.
Any tips on how I can get out of this habit, any experience anyone else has will be massively helpful!
