My baby till date was feeding between every 2-3hrs and sleeping calmly on bed. But since past couple of days he wants to sleep only on lap and when waking up suddenly and finding himself on bed starts crying uncontrollably. What should we do ? It’s not possible to keep him on lap obviously. He is calm for a while with pacifier but as soon as pacifier comes out he wakes up and starts crying again. Also we tried making him sleep on lap with music on he sleeps well then in bed when transferred as long as the music is going on as soon as music stops the crying process starts again. Is there something wrong with him ?

Accepted Answer

It is because newborn babies are unfamiliar with their surroundings, and being held close to the parent would give them more comfort and a sense of security. Also, close physical contact helps newborn babies regulate their body temperature. Holding your baby is a warm feeling for both parents and the baby
