Will only sleep with Mum!

Okay from my own point of view I would let baby sleep where baby wants to sleep. Andrew loves sleeping on me but at Playcentre he sleeps in his pram with no problem. He loves sleeping with Grant too and we co-sleep with him at night.

It is a bit more difficult second time around as I have McKayla to take care of as well. But they are only this little for a short while. And my daughter is sleeping in her own bed most of the night.

However I know it isnt always possible specially with moms that have to leave to work in a few short months ect. What I found worked with McKayla when we got her into her own cot was that she would fall asleep in our bed or in my arms but as soon as I put her in her cot right next to our bed she would wake. Pick her up and she was asleep again.

So we took one of our pillow cases and put it over her safety sleep thing and then put her down and she was out. It had to do with our smell. I would just swop it out every 3 days or so but it had to be one that had mommy smell on it. The few times I had to put Andrew down I did the same and it works like a treat with him too.

Dont put the baby in a too big space so they sort of get lost in the cot. They like being (or at least usually) being in a smaller space just like they were in your tummy.

Other thing that might work is white noise. They are use to constant noise from your tummy and to come in this world with no noise at night can be a bit difficult. We had a mozart for minors cd I use to play with them in my tummy and when they came out that music can calm them right down. But sure it will even work now for some babies or like I said normal white noise music.

I know it must be hard but in a short few weeks you would have figured your paticular child out.
