There is a reason parents devote so much time to select the right cot, A cot is the safe place for your infant to recharge. But many moms find that baby does not like to sleep in a cot, only – in your arms or car seat while your drive aimlessly. Per study of Jodi Mindell, Ph.D, “After babies hit the 6 month mark, their napping and nighttime habits become harder to change,” this is the time to teach baby to sleep in cot.
Why baby does not like to sleep the cot? Ph.D Polly Moore research shows that a baby can tell if she’s being held by one of her parents or someone else. She knows that mommy feels and smells like.
Common traps
Parents hold baby after baby nods off after a feeding. Cosying up could become the only way to calm the baby later.
Sometime, babies prefer upright position – a carrier or sling, to doze off, may expect that every day.
Baby only sleep in bouncy seat or car seat – movement and motion is only way to nap.
