Delphine, Although most parents love watching their child sleep in their arms, babies can develop habits quite early. It sounds as if this is what is happening to your daughter. Begin putting her down while she is drowsy but not asleep. While she is too young to let "cry it out", you can give her a few moments to fuss herself to sleep. Hope this works!-Susie

is it bad to hold my baby to put her to sleep? Am I giving her bad habits she is 2 months old? She falls asleep in my arms and wakes up when I put her down. I have to do this 4 times by the time she sleeps its almost 1:00 AM. What am I doing wrong?

Ray, At only 20 days old, your baby may only sleep for short periods, although her waking periods won't be for long either. If you are concerned, however, please address this with your pediatrician.-Susie

My baby is only 20days old but her sleep is way to less. She dont have deep sleep at all, the longest she can sleep is an hour and the shortest is few minutes before she starts crying again. Is there something wrong with her..?

kleoka, At 2 months, it's still understandable that your baby isn't on a set schedule, but you can start helping her out. When my children were infants, I usually let them nap in the living room for the first 3 or 4 months, either in their bouncer or on a blanket on the couch. I tried to really distinguish between daytime and nighttime sleep. At night, I changed them into a gown, nursed them, then put them in their crib in a darkened room. It didn't happen overnight, but eventually, they learned to associate this with longer sleep. Establish a routine and stick to it. Eventually your little one will get the idea. In the meantime, try to rest when she does. Good luck!-Susie

Hi, I have a 2 month old babygirl.I read on many pages like advice that the babies has to have naps and it's good to put them in the bed around 7 and 8o'clock.My situation is that every time after i feed her she doesn't really want to sleep and in case if she falls asleep after 1 or 2 hours she wakes up.I don't know how to put her sleep during the day because if I just put her in the bed she doesn' wanna sleep.The worst is the nights because if I want her to sleep I have to pick her up and during the time I have in my arms she sleeps otherwise she can stay the whole night awake. I am really exhausted and I need some help. Please give me some advice or help me out maybe I do something wrong. Thank you

Elaine, I know you probably don't want to hear this, but it really isn't your place to do anything. That is the beauty (and sometimes the frustration) of being a grandmother. You don't say how old your grandson is, but if he is just an infant, holding him while he sleeps really won't do any damage. It sounds as if your daughter-in-law is simply in awe of having this new creature in her life. Let her enjoy these moments while she can. Before you and she know it, the little guy will be a teenager!-Susie

My daughter in law will not let my grandson sleep in this bed. She holds him all day for three or four hours at a time while he sleeps. What can I do?
