My newborn started disliking their crib...advice?

Anyone’s newborn just suddenly hate their cribs? For the last couple of nights my newborn will automatically wake up and start crying if I put him in the crib. The only way to get him to sleep is on me.

Could be going through a sleep regression they hit in stages and basically hate everything we thought they loved and don’t sleep :sleeping: I’d just keep alternating fulfill his need for comfort with you but continue to try the crib. You’ll both get through. You got this momma :white_heart:

Welcome to the joys of having a newborn.

That’s not surprising. It’s a newborn. Hang in there.

Forget it then, keep him with mama and let bedtime be peaceful for you both.

Could be that the sound of your heartbeat is comforting & perhaps white noise or a heartbeat simulator might help?

Just keep at it. It will pass. Lay slowly from feet to head when lay them down and leave your hand on their chest for a few minutes

Its a newborn give baby time to adjust, i had mine in a basinet next to my bed until my babies turned 6 months

Put one of your recently worn shirts in with him. Put it where it’s close enough to him that he can smell your scent but far enough that it can’t get in his face or wrap around his arms or legs.

Kids go through cycles…have you tried swaddling?

A heartbeat sound speaker. I’ve seen people also weighing a glove down with rice or something and resting it on the baby so it feels like your hand.

That’s normal. Mammals are hardwired to be close to mom. Separation equals danger.

Wrap him up warm … when a child is warm they stay asleep -

Try putting baby very drowsy in the crib. It’s like if you fell asleep one place and woke in another you’d be freaked out too.

Depression is something I don’t wish anyone ever go through, I’ve been through depression when my husband left me for someone else and I know how it feels, thanks to Omini for bringing back my husband, this time he loves me more than he loves himself :heart_eyes::heart:thank you harding
