6 week old won’t sleep/let me put her down - a first time mom’s plea for advice


Hi all! After trying for many years to conceive, my husband and I finally welcomed our perfect baby girl in February! She’s amazing and as much as we could cuddle and stare at her forever, the inability to put her down (on her part, not ours 🙄) has reached critical levels of sorts. Regardless of how tired she may be, the second she is put down she immediately wakes herself up and will not fall back to sleep unless being held! This has made our already sleepless nights that much more stressful. As she is barely 6 weeks old, I am advised not to start sleep training until several weeks down the road (at the very least!) but am not sure what to do in the interim. I know how frowned upon co sleeping is and the potential dangers it poses (trust me, I know all too well) but it seems like that is our only hope for getting a few hours of much needed shut eye at night. Any advice on navigating these new mom waters would be greatly appreciated. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/33NSkr7
