Patient's question:
Symptom Description: How can I make the baby fall asleep only when being held?Doctor's answer:
If the baby only wants to sleep when being held by the mother, it will definitely make the mother very tired, especially if some babies cry and fuss the moment they are put down and must be held. The mother shouldn't get impatient. This indicates that the baby hasn't fallen asleep properly. Once the baby is fully asleep, it is usually possible to put them in bed.If the baby insists on being held to sleep, the whole family should get involved and take turns holding the baby. As long as the baby can sleep soundly, a little extra effort won't matter. However, it's important to gradually transition the baby back to the bed when holding them. For example, start by sitting with the baby in bed while holding them, then slowly move on to lying down with the baby in bed. Over time, the baby will get used to sleeping directly in bed.
