My baby wakes up as soon as i put her down on the mattress! How to tackle this?

[tarrynthedoula]

In the first attempt, baby was being held against Mama. Baby immediately misses Mama’s warmth as soon as they’re out down. Second attempt, baby was being held away from Mama already in a lying position so the transition onto the mattress was much smoother.

I learnt it by many sleepless nights 😂

Keep her close to you as you lay her down. Pull your hand from behind her head while staying close and then from behind her legs slowly pull up. Sometimes you have to repeat this process, LOL.
It will help if you have baby blankets rolled up and against her body so that she feels snuggled. She is a precious gift from God. 🙂

What ya GOTTA do is... Hold ur baby UNTIL u HEAR the "3rd" SIGH.. babies as they "settle into sleep" WILL let out soft sighs, LISTEN 4 & COUNT those sighs, whn u'v heard the 3rd SIGH, the HEAVIEST sigh, gently rise, S-L-O-W-L-Y walk them 2 their bassinets/cribs & GENTLY lay them down, once they're in their bed, GENTLY rub their tummy & WAIT 4 them 2 sigh again, aftr u hear tht final sigh, they're ASLEEP & U CAN chill, take a nap, take a shower, have a meal etc

Wish I saw this month ago. People are always like "just put baby down if he sleeps" as if it was easy.

Tried many times...it really works😄our babies are really cute 🥰

[anketasastri]

Swaddle her nice and cozy...put some pillows around her..put mittens on her hands...she ll feel cozy and secure...she won't cry as soon as u put her down

Extra tips: Once they fall asleep, hold them for another 20-30 min for them to go into Deep Sleep. They won't rouse as easily in Deep Sleep.
Lightly pre-warm the crib/bassinet with a heading pad, taking it out before laying baby down. This mimics your warm body and they won't be roused by the sudden coldness.

I'd always put my baby down awake...I'd give her a little song and make her feel safe. She was the best sleeper out of my 3.

I always got baby to sleep on baby pillow, on my raised lap. So baby’s feet facing me and most of the body and head on the pillow (my legs a perfect slope) I would rock the pillow back and forth and once baby was asleep it was so easy to lift the pillow rather than the baby, and gently lay the pillow down (with baby on top of the pillow of course). The baby doesn’t get disturbed and stays asleep. 😴

Hi sis. Use cloth cradles. It makes ur baby more comfortable.

[SilverSkyCloud]

What I've never understood even after having 3 children is why does patting their bum help soothe them?

[zhuldyzortutay]

I've been doing all this. Also I keep my lips for few minutes on her cheek or forehead, kinda kiss so baby feels mother and don't scared when we put them on bed

[reethikaprasanth]

I too do this for my baby.. she feels like I'm with her .🥰

[revathyt.m]

Place ur baby in Indian style cradle it works .. I too faced the same problem

[kaveriashokkarjigimath.]

You also sleep along with the baby. It will feel warmth of you. Later slowly get up.

[pritivanjari]

Same😅😅i think all baby are the same, ,,

[nithyaneelima]

When I put my baby down I feed her then she falls asleep without any other distractions and feels like it fulfilled my heart

Actually it is an indication that your baby is typically developing sensory skills, if baby is not recognized till 6 to 8 months in future baby will face motor and sensor issues
