My son is 6 weeks old and he is driving us crazy. At 9:00 p.m. we start his last feeding and then we put him in a sling where he usually falls asleep promptly. We wait a few minutes until we are sure he is asleep then put him in the crib where he immediately wakes up and stays up until his next feeding at midnight. Even at the later night feedings he still wakes up as soon as he is put in the crib, but he usually gets himself back to sleep in a few minutes. It is only this first time in the crib that he gives us trouble.
What can we do to prevent him from waking up as soon as we put him down? Should we give up the sling?
