[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]For my older DD, it was nearly 6 months before she would sleep more than a half hour at a time without being held. That child nearly broke me. But she had severe colic and reflux, and was just a miserable little baby. [/b] Second DD, we could put her down in her bassinet for short naps starting around 2 weeks old, and at 9mo now, she’s a great sleeper. Every baby is different. Tight swaddle, turn on a sound machine, lay her down in her bassinet/crib/safe spot once she’s asleep and see how it goes. Google “4th trimester”...definitely a thing for both mom and baby![/quote] This was my firstborn too. I didn't really know any better and we'd just moved so I didn't have any friends or family to tell me it was abnormal. None of us slept well for at least a year. [/quote]
