Only sleeping when being held

My baby will happily sleep in someone’s arms but the minute she’s put down she cries- she’s only 7 weeks old. Has anyone else had same issue- and how did you resolve ??

I haven’t got a solution unfortunately but my little boy is the same at the moment. He used to sleep really well in his cot, only waking once and for the past few weeks, he just won’t let me put him down. We end up co sleeping

No real advice but its probably just a phase. My LO was like that and now sleeps through the night. I just kept the same routine and eventually it got better 💜

She actually sleeps ok during the night ! It’s the day that’s tough!!

Me too, bedtime (9/9:30) until about 6/7am she’ll happily sleep in the next to me (3 wake ups during that time) but after that it’s contact napping only. She’ll settle when we go for a walk in the pram and eventually fall asleep but wakes up as soon as we’re home again. I try to put her down when she’s in a deep sleep so I can get some rest but as soon as she realises she’s alone it’s game over. I just want a nap too 😫

We’re exactly the same at the . I was trying to figure out if it was where I was putting her down but thinking now it’s just a phase! grateful it’s not effecting the nights though 🥲

Our 3 week old is the same both in the night and for day naps. We’re looking after her in shifts. Following in case someone has any ideas! Hoping ours will grow out of it in the next few weeks - we’ve tried everything

I’m here reading the comments relieved if it’s just not me and my 3 week old. I’m out of ideas and have decided to roll with it. I’ve been told “you get used to the sleep deprivation”. Me and my husband do shifts with her. Wear a sling so we can do things.
