10 week old baby still will only sleep on me

[Cloudinslices]

My 10 week old baby will only sleep on me. I have no idea what to do anymore.

He won't take a dummy
Doesn't respond to swaddling, white noise, shhing or me putting my hand on his chest.

Every time I put him down he either cries straight away or after about ten minutes.

I've tried him in his next to me crib and co sleeping in bed.

I'm hoping in time he will go down to sleep but urgh , I'm tired and miserable. I have a toddler -who slept well front baby hood- and I feel I don't have a lot of energy and patience for her and feel guilty about it.

Think this is mostly to let it out as not sure what else I can do except give him time as he is still young.

Yours, one moody tired mum x

My second was like this. First slept much better.

We ended up co sleeping, so he knew I was super close by, usually his head was in my armpit and nose on my boob. But we slept, it was safe etc. and I grew less tired and more patient. He went into a cot easily at about 18 months with some reassurance.

Now he’s 7 and loves his bed and his kip, no problem to go to bed and stay there.

it’s bloody tough and brutal on you.

My 10 year old was like this. He had silent reflux so hated being on his back. And also just liked cuddling his mummy! He still loves sleeping with me

My baby was like this ended up having cmpa/reflux and a whole bunch of other stuff (but honestly was still a fussy baby regardless) the only thing that worked was constantly trying (which is exhausting I must admit) at first we tried to put her down for day time naps as it seemed less taxing. We put her down if she cried put a dummy in (she also wouldn't take a dummy at first but we kept on persisting) when she cried we pick her up calm her down and put her back in and repeat until she either settled or until she screamed because we knew that mesnt she wasnt going down so wed hold her to sleep in those istances. and then when she started getting a bit more used to it we tried at night time and kept on trying and trying and now she sleeps there relatively well
Its tough and exhausting but hopefully if you keep trying to put baby down they'll get used to it

Did this get better for you! I’m in the same position and can’t handle it 😭
