My 2 month old baby is so difficult to put down to sleep. Please help

[LindaMaya]

Hello to all the mums !

So my daughter is 2 months now and we having such a hard time with putting her down to sleep. She resists it all the time. She sleeps really well at night without waking up or waking up just once so she's amazing with that. But actual putting down to sleep can take forever. She falls asleep easy on breast or in arms rocking but as soon as you put her down she's wide awake and she isn't able to fall asleep on her own in the cot. I don't want to get her used to going to bed by feeding her laying down on the bed but at the minute that seems the only way without taking hours until she's exhausted and overtired.
Naps become a difficult thing as well. Sometimes she goes with very little sleep during the day.
I need some advice on how to make things better. She sleeps well just putting her to sleep is a nightmare 😭

Following with interest as in a similar boat. (Except mine doesn't sleep well at night either.) I have no idea how to help a baby go to sleep on its own!

Mine never went to sleep on his own so I gave up on that one, I have to say it didn't bother me much, was happy to have him around. He's pushing forty now and goes to sleep quite easily on his own, so don't worry, there is light at the end of the tunnel ;-), :-).

You can’t help a baby to go to sleep on it’s own. Feeding to sleep is the biological norm for our species. The reason your baby is getting so upset is because you are going against what a human baby is programmed to do.
Forget all the bad habit, rod for your own back rubbish and just feed her to sleep. It will make life so much happier for you all. As @Bluerussains example shows they grow out of it😊

Its NORMAL!!! You'll only stress yourself out trying to change it. Babies feed to sleep - youre doing a great job. It's an outdated myth that you will make a rod for your own back. Google the 4th trimester.

Let her nap on the breast in the day, or in your arms, or in a sling - its normal, natural, and what nature intended. Just make it as easy as possible for yourself!

Mine was a terrible sleeper, I fed to sleep she ended up in my bed ect. Now she’s 7 months and just slept 10-7:48 I can hear her just stirring now. She had a late bedtime as I was visiting a friend but she slept from when I put her down. She doesn’t have milk at all through the night now, but she used too. There is light at the end of the tunnel xx
