My little man is now 10 weeks old. For the last week and a half he has go t really clingy, and harder to settle in his cot. He will quite happily fall asleep on me, but as soon as I put him in his chair or cot he wakes and cries. gets tetchy quite a bit too. Has anyone else experienced this? x

Yep! My boy will be 11 weeks tomorrow and he's been like that for two weeks!! Since his jabs....don't know if it disrupted his little routine. It's quite hard isn't it. I just keep persisting in laying him down otherwise my back will break lol x

Cuddles cuddles cuddles baby's can't get enough when baby starts approaching this age they become aware of their surroundings more therefore when they go from being warm and cuddled to a cold cot it's not a pleasant experience. As they get a bit older especially when awake put them in the cot so they are used to being in awake. That way if they wake when you put them down they don't freak out they will know their surroundings and it may take a few minutes but will settle if left and your out of sight. X
