This one thing is honestly making me regret having a baby- please give advice
I am honestly at my wits end with this, I really just want to talk to someone and somebody to tell me this is actually normal because it’s terrifying me.
I have a 5 week old baby and he literally will not go down in his own bed, day or night. He went through about 2 weeks where at night he did go down and sleep well in it but he doesn’t anymore. I can’t ever put him down. I’ve tried everything, I let him fall asleep deeply in my arms first, I’ve also tried putting him down when he’s awake, I warm the mattress, I use white noise, I swaddle, I don’t swaddle, I dim the lights , feed formula, nurse to sleep, I’ve honestly tried everything. Put him down on his side, feet first.
Anytime I try to put him down, he’s either asleep for about 5 minutes before waking up crying or cries straight away.
I’m now having to consider co sleeping tonight even though I’m not comfortable with it and scared of doing this.
Is this genuinely normal? Will it stop? Please I’m going out of my mind here
