10 wo will only stop screaming when I hold him. He really wants to be asleep, and as soon as i pick him up he immediately falls asleep in my arms, and then as soon as I put him down it's back to the screaming. I can't possibly hold him 24-7 since I also have a 2.5 yo. Any suggestions??!! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Already doing that. He's as snug as bug in a rug, but still has this screaming issue. [ Reply | More

Check out the section on Sleep under "how we can help" at http://www.babycareadvice.com Had this problem with my DD - would fall asleep in my arms and immediately awaken when I would lay her down elsewhere. I think I just kept trying to lay her down and if she kept fussing then I would just let her sleep on me. Eventually, she started staying asleep when laid down in her crib, although not for long. That's my new problem. GL! [ Reply | More

Put him in a sling and carry him around for the next few weeks. He'll eventually grow out of this phase. [ Reply | More
