Hi all,
I have a 7 week old DS and he will only sleep on me or Dad at night. As time goes on it’s becoming harder to manage as we are very tired! He also still wakes every 2 hours max to feed (EBF). At first I assumed he’d grow out of it soon enough but no signs yet. He wakes and screams the second he’s moved to next to me cot (we’ve tried warming cot a bit, putting my top, slightly raising his head). He also refused to sleep next to me in bed. Has to be on our chest, either on his front or side.
For naps he mainly sleeps in carrier, being held, or will sleep in pram as long as it keeps moving.
Wondering if anyone has any tips for moving them to cot at night? We will eventually sleep train but he’s far too young now. But would really like to occasionally sleep not propped up with pillows and a baby on me! I’m wondering if he’d be happier sleeping in cot on his front but am anxious to try and deemed dangerous- so if anyone has advice on that also appreciated.
Many thanks
