My usually social 7-month-old has suddenly started crying when unfamiliar people try to hold her. Is this stranger anxiety? How did you handle it?
Solidarity! We are in the thick of it too. The only thing that seems to help is being super consistent with our bedtime routine. And lots of coffee.
This is a developmental phase. Their sleep cycles are maturing. We read 'Precious Little Sleep' and it had some great tips. It does get better!
Try doing it on your chest while you're lying down! My baby tolerated that way better than on the floor. Or roll up a towel and put it under their armpits for support.
Hang in there, it gets easier!
This is so helpful, thank you for sharing.
