[quote=Anonymous]Newborn care specialist here- How have you been putting the baby down for naps previously? Have you been rocking or shushing and letting them nap in your arms? If so, they’re used to sleeping cozy with you and it’s hard to transition them to drowsy awake in bed, because they don’t know how to self soothe. If you’ve been holding for most naps or baby wearing, I suggest letting the baby fall asleep in your arms and once they’re out completely, put them in bed. It’s going to be hard to transition to putting them down awake, if they’re used to being put to sleep in a snoo, rocking or being held. Let the baby wake up in their crib and eventually you can start holding them less before putting them down. [/quote]
