My 4 months old baby will only like fall asleep in my arms, is it bad?

Fond memories..: Very difficult... Even for me, as a pediatrician the recommendation is to place child in crib or poor sleeping habits may develop where the child requires rocking by you prior to sleep - other sleep routines should be used. But as a father... I held my infant until asleep as it would cry if i placed in crib - i definitely did not have the emotional strength to see my little one cry! too soft!

Decide yourself: A 4mo old does not know when she's sleeping or that sleep would help her fatigue.Parents who rock/carry infants until they fall asleep have 400% more sleep disturbances in kids the first 3 yrs of life. Your goal is to create a comfortable sleep zone/crib where baby feels safe. It should have light so baby can always recognize the place & some comforting sound.
