Since falling ill with rsv then bronchiolitis back2back, my 7mo is no longer able to soothe herself to sleep & sleeps on my chest. help! tired mommy!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor baby /mommy: This is common in young infants. You can begin the process of letting her sleep in her crib and crying for a period of time (if you can tolerate it). Check on her periodically but don't pick her up. Usually after a few nights the self-soothing returns and she can sleep through the night again. The limiting factor is usually mom's nerves during those couple nights!!!
