Baby wont sleep alone.

Baby wont sleep alone.

Does anyones elses baby not sleep by themselves?
I have a 4 month old and hes in this habit, lately of waking up and screaming the second i put him down, pick him up and hes straight off to sleep.
its forced me to co-sleep, which i dont mind but not every night.
I don't know how to fix it. :(

My little girl is the same! It's hard because now my hubby sleeps in our spare room so we have more space in the bed. She's 5.5 months. I've come to the conclusion that they're only little for such a sort time... It doesn't hurt. But, I have had lots of advice on how to get her in her own cot. Having a nightlight on, little bit of breast milk on her sheet, swaddling and white noise! For the past week I've been able to get my little one to sleep in her cot through the day with breast milk on the sheets. Going to start the night light tonight. Give them all a try, and I gess keep persevering. Like I said, so little for such a short time. Good luck xx

I put the side off the cot and pulled it up to my bed. Baby slept well, I could cuddle or put my arm on her easily if she stirred but I also slept well in my own space.
