My baby won’t sleep alone
My 5 month old refuses to be put down when drowsy or asleep. He cries a lot and knows when he is not being held. Since I gave birth to him, we always put hin down to his cot with his swaddle on but just after a month he started resisting and wants to be carried all the time.
The answer is co-sleeping. even if it's in a bassinet right next to you. We set up a full size montessori floor bed with a fence around it and I have co-slept with my baby from the night we brought him home. When he was an infant, we kept him in a bassinet next to me but have never had a problem with him crying at night. Babies want to be close to their moms. It's natural.
