When DS was tiny, he used to pass out as soon as we put on white noise! Miracle stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2150993 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 09:27:05 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2150993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2150929 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 08:45:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2150929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: Yay! DD sleeps with loud white noise too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2150913 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 08:34:21 +0000 brownie 2150913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update! We had our big trip yesterday and she responded well to white noise. So last night I turned on the white noise and she slept! 1 hr, 2hr, and 3 hr. Mommy is a whole new mommy. We just have to repeat tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2150668 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:55:40 +0000 brownie 2150668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: @miramira: we would do this, but we just moved (and are ramping up to move again) so we only have our bed and miraculously (seriously it is surrounded by boxes) we have a mattress on the floor for Grammy who is helping us with baby. We brought out the big boy bed but he hasn't transitioned to it yet.</p> <p>@lady grey: yeah she loves the swaddle. She just doesn't love not being in our arms.</p> <p>We are going to try using a blow dryer to warm up the bed for her and see if that helps. Otherwise I think we are going to sleep with her on our chests (propped up). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2150369 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 16:11:31 +0000 miramira 2150369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second swaddling or co-sleeping in a separate bed from your partner and son (but don't co-sleep AND swaddle and don't fall asleep with her on a chair/couch!)</p> <p>I slept with DS in the crook of my arm in our bed for a few nights when he was tiny. His little eyes just closed immediately :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149588 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:30:02 +0000 snowjewelz 2149588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the first 2 weeks are a free for all! I would just try to do whatever it takes for now! We def let DD slept on us A TON! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149584 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:27:52 +0000 catomd00 2149584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would recommend co sleeping with baby and having your husband cosleep with your son in a different room. Cosleeping on a couch or chair is not safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149582 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:25:25 +0000 magnolia 2149582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww hang in there mama. do you haave a wrap or sling? you could you try getting baby to sleep in that and then putting her down. I always hafdto get baby to a deep sleep First. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149549 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:55:39 +0000 theotherstark 2149549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I slept on the couch holding our son for the first week or so. Ha. It's normal - they're used to constantly being warm and held and cozy in the womb, so of course they won't like sleeping elsewhere. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149543 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:49:25 +0000 lady grey 2149543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's normal for newborns to want to be held 24 hrs a day, including for sleeping. For night have you tried a tight swaddle? Even if she does seem to like it at first it will prob make her feel more secure sleeping that way </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149532 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:36:24 +0000 Anagram 2149532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 days is still very, very early days. It may just be a wait-it-out situation where her days and nights are mixed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149483 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 06:12:43 +0000 brownie 2149483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@As Time Goes By: yeah, that is how we have put her down per the midwives. Doesn't work for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149482 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 06:10:52 +0000 As Time Goes By 2149482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried having her sleep on her side supported by receiving blankets? It's the only way W will sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sleep-issues#post-2149479 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 06:02:45 +0000 brownie 2149479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is now 4 days old. She will not sleep anywhere (well maybe in our arms). This is strange for us because our first son was MSPI and screamed constantly so it didn't matter.</p> <p>We have tried the rnp, swing, co sleeper but none last more than a few minutes day or night. Our son sleeps in our bed with us so she cannot cosleep.</p> <p>Any ideas on how to get her to sleep somewhere at night? </p>
