Or take a long walk? Whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492867 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 23:17:11 +0000 skibobrown 492867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 weeks is a fussy time. Around this time we re-watched the Happiest Baby on the Block DVD and started using the 5 S's religiously. I highly recommend that strategy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492843 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 23:07:16 +0000 Kemma 492843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes you just have to let them sleep on you! The nice thing with babies is that they're always changing so days like you're having are usually only temporary :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492821 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:54:22 +0000 mrsmate 492821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD slept in her swing a lot at that stage. Try to borrow one if you can, not all babies like it. It's a good idea to shut the swing off once your LO is sleeping so s/he doesn't get used to being in motion to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492815 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:50:59 +0000 Weagle 492815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think someone held LO for 90% of her naps through week 8. And a good amount of them beyond that. Baby wearing is a lifesaver! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492178 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:16:43 +0000 mrskc 492178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point just let him sleep on you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492163 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:11:59 +0000 stargal 492163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can he fall asleep in the car? my lo loves the car and passes out. ive used it as a last resort thing twice now to get him to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492152 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:09:10 +0000 kiddosc 492152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like it's just going to be one of those days. I would walk around to get him to fall asleep in the carrier and then I could sit down. As long as he was still against me he would stay asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492151 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:08:56 +0000 sunny 492151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that point my LO was exactly the same... I did a lot of catching up on TV while holding her while she slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492146 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:08:15 +0000 travelgirl1 492146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is exactly the same, she hated the stroller too. We just bought an ergo and it's magic! To be fair she will go down on a night now in her crib, swaddled, after a few tries, but still refuses to be put down for naps. I honestly just find it easier to hold her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492145 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:08:02 +0000 wheres_c 492145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: yeah i just dinner will have to wait.

If I try while he's awake he gets mad--he likes to move around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492141 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:07:03 +0000 wheres_c 492141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: haha great at least im not alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492137 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:06:21 +0000 wheres_c 492137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: can you sit while wearing him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492136 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:05:57 +0000 Bao 492136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO did this at 5 weeks old too and she was up 11 hours straight!! I tried everything, nothing worked lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492135 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:05:49 +0000 immabeetoo 492135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had days like this! By this point I'd let him sleep on you to be honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492134 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:05:42 +0000 wheres_c 492134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bebefly: ive been holding him... I have a ktan but doesnt seem to fit right. Will need to try it again.</p> <p>I just have no clue where this awake spell came from! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492131 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:04:26 +0000 hilsy85 492131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto babywearing. Sometimes it's the only thing that works! About to pop my guy into the moby for a quick nap before bedtime... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492127 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:02:30 +0000 sera_87 492127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>looks like you're in for a spell of babywearing. do you have a sling or carrier you could pop him in? Otherwise you'll just have to hold him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep#post-492100 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 16:58:32 +0000 wheres_c 492100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B has been up since 10am! Thats 7 hours! He's only 5 weeks old and never been up this long before.</p> <p>Ive checked all the usual suspects:diaper, hes fed, etc. He will fall asleep on me but the second I put him down he will wake up.</p> <p>Any clue why???<br /> Any tricks to transferring him so he doesnt wake. Tried rnp, pnp and crib? </p>
