How do you get a newborn to stay sleep during the day?
My DS goes to sleep very easily during the day on the breast or carried, rocked etc but once he is put down (even after 20 mins of being carried etc) he is wide awake within about 5ish minutes and I can't seem to resettle him. Thus he is only getting 5 to 10 mins sleep at a time which isn't nice for him or me as he needs the sleep! A hammock hasn't helped so far. Can't get a dummy to stay in the mouth either! He sleeps really well at night so just looking for tips to help him STAY asleep once asleep during the day!
I have the same problem! So i'll be keeping track of this thread to see if anyone has a miracle solution!!!!
Sorry i can't be of any help... but it might make you feel better to know that you are not the only one

My little man is 5 weeks and we are on exactly the same rollercoaster. I will say that it's all a bit of trial and error at the moment.
Working for me today is the Music for Dreaming CD. At the moment I get him quite drowsy and then he goes into his little cot. The music seems to take him that little bit further into proper sleep.
However what is working today might not work tomorrow!!!!
Yes, I have got a sling and it does get him to sleep and stay there however I can't change my daughter's nappy, make her lunch, take her outside for a swim etc when DS is in the sling! Glad I'm not the only one!
