Gosh! im glad i joined this helpful site.

Thanks for your reply.  It seems there are not alot of people here, is this site new?

The last few days have been better and he's been sleeping in his crib, so i am thankful, just not for very long and most of the time he wakes up crying.  I hate using a pacifier but it seems to work when he wakes up, most of the time anyway. Op…he just woke screaming, ya! Thanks again.

Hi everyone,

It seems that up until 4 months (from my experience anyways) they need us for comfort, warmth and security, and love being held to fall asleep, and freak out when they wake because you are no longer there (again, Kimberly said somewhere in her posts that it would be like you waking up and not having your pillow, you'd freak too!); hence putting them down in their crib drowsy but not asleep. Easier said than done when breastfeeding, again my experience. So for the first 4 months, that's what we did; I nursed him to sleep and then carefully placed him in the bassinet, swing or crib (depending on where we were) – even the moby wrap for naps (he was a summer time baby and we camped alot). For new moms out there, my recommendation is try not to stress for the first few months; put yourself in auto pilot if you can and when they're ready for something different, they'll let you :)
