3 month old won't sleep anywhere but on me!

My sister in law has a three month old girl who won't sleep anywhere but on her and so she hasn't had any sleep in so long. She has tried so many things, but nothing seems to work. do any experienced moms or dads have any ideas?

This not a bad event...the baby is more secure with mother...place the baby on another bear chest woman...place the baby close to the heart… the heart will soothe the baby...do not give baby to any one that is stressed... babies can feel it...

What I did with my babies was let them cry. It won't take long and I have to admit that 3 months is a little young for me, but like I said it won't take long. Maybe start with putting the baby beside her. Let her fuss when she does, but the baby will get tired enough to sleep. I think if you do this in small steps, slowly it will work. First try putting the baby beside, then when the baby's good with that, try the crib. Babies will ajust. It may take a couple of nights but it will work. The baby will learn and it won't be as nearly traumatic for the baby as it would be for the mom. Tell her to be patient. As long as the baby is not hungry, in pain, or wet, let her/him cry. Just be sure to comfort the baby too. If she could lay beside the baby and stroke him, that might help. She better solve this now, because it will only get harder.

I hope something helps.

My daughter slept on me the same way. I started that as she has a learning disability and it was as much comfort to me as it was her. She slept straddling my chest until she got so heavy I could not breath. One night,after she fell asleep,I slid from under her,but kept her close. After a few nights of doing that it was easy to get her to her crib. As long as she could see me she was alright. She is 30 now and she adjusted fine.

Hey All...I tried using a bear that is sold at Toys R Us/Babies R Us and it's called a slumber time bear. It actually plays the sounds of the womb and is activated when the baby cries. Best of luck!

LadyJane agrees: This is what I did for my son and he slept in his crib that night.
