A. it seems like your baby girl is having difficulty falling asleep on the mattress and is displaying signs of stubbornness by refusing to stay with you. at this age, infants rely heavily on their caregivers for comfort and security, which might explain her resistance to the new sleeping arrangement. to ensure your baby's well-being and comfort, you can try different strategies to help her transition to sleeping on the mattress. for instance, you could gradually introduce the mattress by placing it next to you while she sleeps on your lap /arm allowing her to feel your presence and gradually become accustomed to the new environment. additionally, creating a soothing bedtime routine, such as dimming the lights, playing calming music, or gently rocking her before placing her on the mattress, might help her relax and ease into sleep.z by providing her with reassurance and a consistent routine, you can help her feel secure and eventually become more comfortable sleeping on the mattress. z

Q. #asktheexperts My 1month old son gets up as soon as we put him on his bed. I feed him, then rock him in my arms, sing him to his sleep and when i finally put him on his bed, he gets up within a minute. If i pick him up again on my arms, he’ll sleep. He sleeps fine in arms or laps but its not possible to keep him there all the time. This is more problematic during night time. Please advise.
