For the last few months my LO will only have his daytime naps if he is in my arms. This started at about 3/4 months and now he is 6 months. He sleeps well in his crib at night but in the day if I put him in his crib he just lays there awake and refuses to sleep until he gets to the point of being overtired and screams so much I have to intervene. I’m not one for letting him cry. I even tried calming him down and putting him back in the crib but then he would just scream some more and this went on for 2 hours until I had to give up as I was so distraught.
He sleeps so well on me in the day he can sometimes have a 2 hour nap but as much as I love the cuddles I never get anything done! I’d rather get things done while he is asleep so when he is awake we can play together.
I really don’t know what to do, even if I rock him to sleep then put him in the crib he may sleep for a little while but then realise what I’ve done and wake up grumpy. I also don’t really want to make the room dark as I understand it’s important to teach them day and night, I don’t want his night sleeping effected as he’s finally improved on that!
Anyone got or had a similar situation??! Tell me this won’t last forever!!
