Someone please tell me "hard" babies get easier after three months! I have to hold him 90% of his wake time, and he has such a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. My back and shoulder kill from holding him and bending over his crib. i've been trying shh-pat and it helps, but then he wakes up every 15 min, sometimes.
Yesterday we were out, so he slept (when he slept instead of screaming) in his snugli-type baby wrap, and today I broke down and put him down on his stomach. He can fall asleep on his own and stay asleep better that way. The swaddle is the only way he can sleep on his back, and even so, with a lot of help that my back isn't up for today, and last time I tried it, he fought it so badly, i'm not up for trying again!
Also, it's almost impossible to hold him all the time, or help him sleep with toddler ds home in the afternoons! if i hold him or "wear" him, i can't really get down and play or hold my two year old, adn i think he's starting to feel it. he's out of the house all morning.
and bedtime is so awful with two! one of them ends up screaming, and older son can't fall asleep without one on one quiet time when he's in bed.
Tell me the lol won't need to be held forever, and will learn how to fall asleep easier!
