my 8 week old doesn't

in her crib at all!!! we have tried everything we can think of. we keep trying to put her in there at night, weve put her in there awake and let her lay in there till she falls a

, which lasts only about 30-45 min. weve put in inthere almost

ing which lasts the same amount of time. we have also put her in there in a "passed out"

and within 15-20 minutes she's fully awake and getting mad. im out of answers. its especially fraustrating because with our first one she slept in her crib great from day one, and she started

ing through the nigt at 2 months old. when we take Madilyn out of her crib, we try leaving her in there as long as possible-you can only listen to your baby

for so long- she falls right back to

in our arms. HELP!!!

Well its been many years since I had to think about these things and never had that problem with my 3 kids. I think its the closeness she is loving. She must like to be cuddled. Not sure how you can work this out. Mabye try wrapping her in a blanket like they do with new borns in the hosptial and having something near her maybe like a clock or something that she can hear. The blanket will be like security for her maybe and the clock will sound like a heart beat maybe. I have no

what to tell you.

Maybe getting a mobile with music or something would work too. Good luck and let us know how things go.
