How to get your baby to sleep without being held?
When your baby is born it is normal that he/she wants to be held in your arms. This is not a habit but it is a need. Think about this from your baby's point of view. After being inside of you for nine months in a cosy and warm environment and being squashed in your tummy, it is normal that your baby will want to be held to feel secure. It is really important that your baby feels that he/she is in a secure place. All babies are different but many babies are agitated when they are put down in their crib while they are awake and make fuss about it.
