Episode #152: What Do I Do When Baby Only Falls Asleep in My Arms

Feb 28, 2024

This week, on the Kids Sleep Show, I am diving into sleep training and coaching indirectly, with an issue so many parents struggle with. The baby will only nap while being held, and immediately when put down, they wake, and cry. Today, I educate families on why this happens at bedtime and naptime plus strategies to get over it, so everyone can sleep through the night and catch a little more z’s. 

 

Episode Highlights

  • Why does baby only sleep when being held?

  • How do I transfer baby to the crib without waking her?

  • Why won’t baby take longer naps or sleep through the night?

  • Do I have to sleep train her to sleep outside of being held?
