do you have one of those things that go on your chest that you can put the baby in i cant think of what its called i think they call it a snuggly. my son was right a six weeks hold when i got to bring him home thats what i would put him in so i could was clothes or dishes, cook even.. also when my son was in the nicu they would put somehting like a bean bag close to him or almost on him to make him feel like someone was near him

I remember those days!! :) The snuggly's a great idea. Also, if you wrap him really tightly in the "burrito wrap" and lay him gently in one of those wedges made for babies (we called it "the hot dog bun" but I don't know the official name), he may be tricked in to thinking he's still being held.

Good luck!!

I learned early on not to let Ryland fall asleep in my arms.

The vibrating bouncy seat was great for my babies ! ITA w/the white noise, too...we put a fan in Colt's room and he'd sleep for a good two hours at a time, yay !
