baby will only sleep on chest

Our six month old daughter won't go to sleep anywhere but on one of us. We're not doing AP--Laura Nathanson's advice suits us best--but we're not going to consider CIO until at least 4 months, if at all. I don't understand what this means. If your daughter is 6 months old, isn't that already older than 4 months? David desJardins |

... You said: Our six month old daughter won't go to sleep anywhere but on one of us. snip Then We're not doing AP--Laura Nathanson's advice suits us best--but we're not going to consider CIO until at least 4 months, if at all. Is she six months or six weeks? Best, Ann |

APS Our daughter wouldn't sleep anywhere except on me at that age, though we had some luck moving her carefully to a bassinet after she was out cold (no twitchy facial muscles, completely limp arms and legs). I think the best advice I got during that time was how to recognize that "out cold" state, because if we tried to put her down before that, she would rouse and cry. She started sleeping six hours a night at about two months, but began waking every couple of hours when she was about six months and then had to be nursed to sleep each time. At 10 months (when I was about at my wit's end from sleep deprivation) we used the Ferber method to teach her to go to sleep (and more important, back to sleep) on her own, and it worked pretty well though the first night was rugged for an hour or so. After that, our bedtime rituals were still pretty extended, including stories and rocking in the rocking chair, but the night waking thing did not return. I think six weeks is too young to do much with behavior modification. You will sleep again someday. |
