Newborn Won't Sleep Anywhere but on Us

Hi, I have a one week old little boy and he will not sleep in his bassinette, crib, swing, papasan chair - anywhere but on us. I sleep sitting up in a glider with him laying on me. No it's not the safest way to sleep and not what I intended at all, but I am at a loss. The pediatrician thinks it will get better and to put him in the crib while he's awake so he gets used to it, but he immediately starts crying, even when I put him in there when he's dead asleep - he'll wake up crying within minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated,...

2 Year Old Sleep Problems - Please Help

Hi. My almost 2 year old is having sleep problems and I m 8.5 months pregnant and nearly going insane from it. She will wake up and scream and cry all night. All she wants is to come into our bed. Nothing else helps - comforting, crying out, milk, etc. When she goes to grandma's house she sleeps like an angel all night long, so something is going on with us. She comes into our bed sometimes to cuddle in the morning or throughout the day. I don't know what to do. Crying out has worked before (takes days and days) but now I am going crazy bc...
