My two-month-old daughter only sleeps on us!

Postnatal, Your questions

Once we place her in her cradle, she either wakes up immediately or within 20 minutes. If she sleeps on us, she’ll go down for 4-5 hours.

What can we do to get her to sleep in her bed?


Audrey-Anne, I totally understand your situation, and this frequently happens. This leads to many questions from parents. There is no miracle cure to get your baby to go to sleep, but there are techniques you can try which may help. In the following article, I try to explain a baby’s sleep cycles and how parents can help stabilise our baby’s or child’s sleep. Please read Demystifying Baby Sleep.
