    It's been two weeks since my son is born. After 10 days in the ICU we brought him home and its such a joy to hold him in my arms.

    But man getting him to sleep is tough.
    I hold him, he dozes off and I put him in his crib, couple of minutes later he wakes up with a cry.
    Just tonight we'd done this several times. My wife had just fed him too and changed his diapers. I don't get it, why does he hate the crib?

    I wonder he wakes up because the crib mattress is pretty hard, but they also don't suggest soft mattress because of SIDS.

    • there's also the plastic nipples, pacifiers. those give them the chance to find something known when they wake up, calm down and go again into sleep mode.uan
