A. So when can I expect baby to sleep on the bed. Even if I try he does not sleep on bed for more than 20 mins at a stretch and then again I have to put him back to sleep in the arms again

A. yes this is the habit which the baby now has developed for a good sound sleep make sure baby room is comfortable and calm. Baby should be well fed at bed time. You should make baby wear comfortable clothing at bed time. Sing a lullaby or light music can be used. Can rock or pat the baby to sleep.
