Newborn not sleeping on bed

2021-07-30 10:58:41
My baby is 3 weeks old and on mix feed. He is feeding well (10-11 times a day) and passing motion and urination also. But he always wants to stay in lap. He is falling asleep in lap and then if we put him in bed he started crying. Is it normal? As some people told me if the baby stays always in lap his growth Will not happen properly and also is there any way to put him in bed?

Those are false assumptions that baby growth will be affected if sleeping in lap. This will take some time for him to get used to.
Next Steps
try to place warm cloth underneath him. lap gives good warmth..provide same warm in bed.
Health Tips
this is normal no need to worry much.
