Hi,

My baby is one and half months old and is a very fussy sleeper. In fact, he sleeps for only about 10-12 hrs in a day and that too for about 1 hr at a time. If he falls asleep while havinhis feed then he sleeps for abt 2-3 hrs at a stretch. But if he does not then he keeps on crying till his next feed. He does feel sleepy but no amount of cuddling, swaddling, rocking, singing etc can put him to sleep. I am going to be rejoining office soon and will leave him with a maid and am scared if he gives so much trouble. pls pls help and tell me what to do. shilpa c replied. hi

We have made a swing from a saree and try to put him to sleep in that, since the saree holds the baby tightly it closely resembles a womb and my son sleeps better in that. Try it. At night he sleeps only on my hands with me cuddling him, though its tough on the mom, baby seems to sleep better. A warm bath helps as well.
Let me know if the above works.
