3 month old crying in room?

[Anonymous]

Today when I bring my 3 month old to his room he starts to cry. It's screwing up his sleep. Has anyone encountered this? Isn't it a little early for him to draw associations with particular rooms and things he does/doesn't like?

Not too early but that wouldn’t assume that is why he’s crying. Could it be that his sleep windows are changing and he’s not ready to sleep?

Maybe but he stops when we leave the room and starts again when we go back in

She is holding him and walking around - how do you think the three month old got into his room? By sauntering in?!

These patterns can start showing as early as 8 weeks! It's actually a really good sign of development despite being sad and kind of annoying. If the bedroom is only used for diaper changes and sleep - aka not fun stuff you can try spending more time in there playing and singing or being silly. Even doing tummy time or reading books on the changing table can help.

And yes around 12 weeks wake windows usually change a bit or they increase feedings and something might need to be changed schedule wise

You can also try switching up or adding to the routine before entering the room. If it's really nap time routine that is upsetting you can try dimming living room lights or playing/singing same song before you enter the room even putting the sleep sack on in the living room and then saying "have a good nap" to things on the way to the bedroom

Also tears aren't a bad thing. Little buddy has picked up on pattern and they don't love what's coming next and they have figured out they can protest it which is so wonderful. Don't feel bad! Trying switching some things up

Reading is fundamental.
She said he woke up after she left them in the room. So if she picks up the crying baby and goes rocks him or something he'd probably go back to sleep. I mean this isn't brain surgery.

She said he cries when she walks into the room holding him and then stops when she walks out of the room with him, in her arms.

Reading is fundamental, indeed.

And it's ok to let a 3 month old to cry for 5min. It won't cause life long damage.

You probably left all your babies to cry.

It won’t cause life long damage, it will slow down the process of them learning to go to sleep on their own, however you try to teach that, but they’ll still get it.
