Your arms are aching and your mother-in-law says you’re spoiling your baby by picking her up when she cries. Don’t sweat it. Snuggling may be exactly what she needs.
I tried letting my little one cry herself to sleep, it was a horrible day for us both. Giving her the snuggles she needs makes us both calmer, plus I have the time and enjoy it too!

Snuggles are definitely what babies need, i am a mother of 4 with new twins and i have found that as long as I am able to get snuggles in with the twins then they are way happier and they sleep better at night, if we are doing stuff and not able to get the snuggles in they are crankier and dont sleep very good! Wish I had extra hands tho, they are getting big and alot harder to snuggle at the same time LOL!!! I have also found that Snuggling with the older kids is a must too, they need to closeness and to know that they are important too! :] great article!!!

Review 3 for Dont Mess With The Snuggle

i tried the same thing with my daughter. she was the same way! but like some others i chose to co sleep eventually. dont worry about rolling over or anything. just make sure there's no pillows near by (the curved nursing pillow is what i used for myself because its skinny) and to be totally honest its the best bonding moment for me!

Review 4 for Dont Mess With The Snuggle
Date:May 3, 2011

My son is 10 days old now and I notice that during the day he will sleep in his crib perfectly by himself, but during the night he seem to wine and complain till he gets picked up, and he wont sleep unless cuddled in my arm and laying in my bed. Is this normal or is there anything I can do to change this habit or should I keep doing what I'm already doing since he already into that routine?

Try putting a hot water bottle in the crib 20 minutes before you put baby to bed. The warm sheets make baby feel like he's being held and helps him fall asleep in his own bed. My family swears by it.

Dear Newborn, Don't worry!! I stressed about sleep sharing at night too, now that I'm on my second little one I decided to forget the crib and guiltily admit that sleep sharing is one of those rare delights in life that will end all too soon. Enjoy the cuddle at night, enjoy their warmth and that beautiful new baby smell pressed against you at 3 am, you'll catch up on your sleep... eventually. Mine always slept well by themselves during the day, try to catch a nap on the couch, but when the sun goes down, get yourself a nice book and hunker down with your squirmy bundle, don't let those other "Super Moms" tell you that their little ones slept in their cribs from day one...it doesn't happen and these women are living in a fantasy land, trust yourself and just know that the "experts" aren't always right!!

I changed my daughters because she was the same. I started putting her in her crib for naps and after just over a week she started sleeping in her crib at night. You sleep so much better when you're not worried about rolling ontop of them
