Q: I Need Advice About Sleeping Routines
asked by: Saragirl on December 1st, 2007

i am a new mom....my daughter was born on Sunday last. When we were in the hospital she slept fine in her bacinet thing. the first few days after the hospital we stayed with my mom, where she slept in her bacinet in mom's room. she slept fine, only waking up for feedings. now that we are back home at my boyfriend's place, she refuses to sleep alone, shes screams bloody homicide when we put her down, even though she is swaddled and we know she is not too hot or cold. as soon as we bring her into bed with us she calms down. i guess i just want to know if this is normal and what we could do to get her to sleep alone. we love to have her with us but we are worried that we might roll on her or that she may develop a habit and not want to ever convert to a crib or bed when she is a little older. Help me please

this is normal. she feels safe with you. but she does need to sleep in her own bed. it'll get harder for the transition when shes older. plus, its safer shes in her own bed because of the risk of cot death. she will cry when you put her down, but it has to be done. maybe try her in the bacinet as its a little more cosy

Where is her crib/the place where she sleeps? If it is a different room than yours, maybe you can try bringing it into your room so she feels safe with you near by but isn't in your bed. Also, maybe try having her in bed until she dozes off and then transferring her to her crib to avoid the screaming.

Agree ^^^. When Mika waslittle and i didn't want her in bed with me anymore i le her doze off and then out her in her own bed. no she goes in there awake and falls asleep by herself with no problem. moving around alot couldconfuse her from going from the hospital to a room with your mum and then home. She'll settle doen soon remember she has no idea what day and night means let alone that they're differnt
