Won't Sleep Apart from Me

Hi everyone. I have a 7 week old baby girl that refuses to sleep in her crib. She likes to fall asleep while she's being held but then wakes up as soon as I try to transfer her. Sometimes I have to hold her for up to an hour or more before she's 'asleep' enough to be put down. My other dilemma is that once I do put her down I know she will be awake and fussy within an hour. I sometimes choose to continue holding her just because I know she will sleep longer and give me more time to get things done. I've tried a sling and baby bjorn and she...

Question for Non cry-it-outers...how Do You Get Your Second Child to Sleep?

Hi moms- I seriously don't understand how other moms do this. I have a 2.5 year old daughter who doesn't nap anymore and now I have a new son (3 months old). He likes to be held and walked around when he's tired and falling asleep and even though it is hard with my daughter around I try to do this as best I can. Some days my mom is here and can stay with my daugther while I take him upstairs and walk or rock him. Or if I'm on my own sometimes I take them for a car ride and he'll fall asleep in the car. Once in awhile I'll put him in...
