New born query

2026-10-02 16:00:47
My baby is 1 month old. He sleeps comfortably on my lap, but whenever I try to put him down on the bed, he starts crying and wakes up. Once I pick him up again, he settles and sleeps. Is this normal at 1 month of age?  How can I safely help him sleep in his bed without crying?

This is very normal at one month. Your baby still misses the closeness and motion he had in the womb, so your arms feel far safer to him than a flat mattress.
Next Steps
Try swaddling him snugly and laying him down slowly, keeping a hand on his chest for a minute before you let go. White noise or gentle rocking before the transfer can help too.
Health Tips
Always lay him on his back on a firm, bare surface for sleep, and consult your paediatrician if the crying feels excessive or he seems unwell otherwise.
