How to get baby to sleep

[lancslass17]

I cant get baby down to sleep he's is 10 days old he will fall asleep on me after a feed but as soon as I put him in the cot he wakes. What can i do? Thanks

Google 4th trimester and realise he's so very tiny and not used to being outside of you yet. Make sure you're safe and keep cuddling

Swaddle him and cuddle him

I probably posted the same question about 16 months ago!

For the day time, a sling is a life saver, at night.... It'll get better. Keep trying, try co sleeping safely.

And for you- coffee, chocolate, biscuits!

Nothing. Keep cuddling and carry on.

Another vote for forth trimester and a sling. Do you have plenty of support?

It's hard but it will get easier!

Try a Velcro swaddle maybe when theyrea bit older but in the meantime do a nice tight swaddle with a cellular blanket and invest in a white noise machine from Amazon. Or whack the hairdryer on the cool setting and see whether they like it!

I kept mine swaddled whilst I fed him as he often feel asleep whilst feeding him, would wait a little after burping and then put him down in the basket.
