POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. It sounds like your baby is experiencing separation anxiety or has developed a preference for being held. Here are some strategies to help:
1. **Gradual Transition**: Try placing your baby in the cradle or crib while they are drowsy but not fully asleep. Gradually get them used to the crib while you're still nearby.
2. **Comforting Routine**: Establish a soothing bedtime routine to help them feel secure and calm before transitioning to the crib.
3. **Consistent Sleep Environment**: Make the crib a comfortable and safe space with familiar items like a favorite blanket or toy.
4. **Self-Soothing Techniques**: Encourage self-soothing by allowing them to settle down on their own. This can involve letting them fuss a little before picking them up.
5. **Comfort Objects**: A soft toy or blanket that smells like you can provide comfort when you’re not holding them.
6. **Reassurance**: Offer reassurance and comfort without immediately picking them up. Pat or gently rub their back to provide comfort.
If the issue persists or if you're concerned about their sleep patterns, consulting a pediatrician can provide additional guidance tailored to your baby's needs.
