My LO is 4 weeks old, and we've been having trouble putting her to sleep (nightime and for naps). The issue is that she, most of the time, only falls asleep while being held. She can sleep soundly for a few hours while in the carrier or while we hold her in our arms, but when we put her down in her bassinet or bouncer, she will wake up and start to cry within minutes. On the few occasions when she has managed to stay asleep when we put her down, it seems to be very restless sleep, with lots of grunting and squirming. We swaddle her for nighttime sleep but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any other mamas out there with this same experience? Did your LO grow out of it, or did you have to try something to get her used to sleeping on her own? We have had many restless days and nights, so would love any and all advice!
