how old is your lo? Mine likes to be held, but once she's in her deep sleep she's ok to be put down. Have you tried swaddling her? I do that sometimes. Or warm up a towel in the dryer, roll it up and put it under her but coming up around her body (like a u shape). Get a bear that makes heart beat sounds and wrap a shirt you've worn and put it near them. Makes them think your holding them. You know she's in a deep sleep when she goes "limp". If you pick up her arm and it just drops. Good luck momma
I am a daycare provider caring for an 8 week old who does the same thing and I'm about out of options. he does not like to be wrapped up or hot so I keep the ceiling fans on, along with the a/c of course. From what I understand, the parents held him all the time during the day but as a provider, I just can't do that because there are other children that need attention and love too. Does anyone think he is too young to just let him cry it out? I've tried putting him in his swing and letting him fuss about it and usually he will fall asleep but not for long. and if I lay him in the bassinet, he immediately starts screaming. Any ideas?
