I am new at this (3rd day trying). Just now I was putting Jason down for his nap. I swaddled him, held him 5 minutes, he was relaxed but not asleep. I laid him in his crib and gently patted for 10 minutes. He jolted at 10 min. I kept my hand on his chest. He jolted at 13, 14, 15, 16 min and at 20 minutes his eyes opened up and he started crying.
Also, I have a hard time knowing when to leave him. His room is dark so I can't see his eyes moving, his breathing seems to never slow. Please help!! I am getting discouraged but willing to stick it out with guidance. Thanks!
I forgot to mention he's 10 weeks!
