My son avinash is now 10 weeks old.he doesn't likes to sleep on his back.he wakes up and start crying whenever we put him on the crib.he likes to sleep only on the swing.
is it Ok to leave him sleep in this pattern ? purvi replied. same with my 12 weeks daughter, she gets up when we lift her from the swing, what i do is when she is semi awake take her out, swaddle her and put her in crib, dont wait till he is totally asleep Kate replied. no you need to teach baby to sleep in a crib.... i am sure that your baby's attachment to the swing is probably because the child feels more secure... ever noticed how much room is left in a crib after baby is placed in it and how he is cradled in the swing? people often dont recognise the symptoms of a tired baby... baby will begin clenching fists, grimacing and waving arms in the air... babies sometimes disply irritability. do not rock your baby to sleep as it does not teach them to learn to sleep on their own. they need to learn to settle themselves for their own benifit.
make sure baby's room is comfortable and tuck baby in... pat baby for 3 min on the back while making soothing sounds like shush-shhhh (its impotant you do not speak to baby) then leave the room. if baby wakes wait around 2-5 mins before going back and repeating the patting and soothing sounds. it will take sometime for baby to learn, about a week. please be diligent and strong while you are teaching baby to sleep, but i promise you that if you stick to this then your baby will soon be so easy that all you need do is kiss your precious child and tuck him and and he shall sleep. good luck with everything you are indeed blessed to be a mother.
