Why does my baby wake up at put down?

For so many parents trying to gently lay your baby down without them waking can be a real challenge: You've finally managed to get baby off to sleep in your arms and you want to put them down so you can have a break, relax, read a book, go to the loo or get on with things around the house. You try to ever so gently and slowly slip them out of your arms and lay them down on their own, doing your absolute upmost not to disturb them. The moment that your baby leaves your side their little eyes are wide open, and then you have to do it all again. The classic move is trying to free your arm from under them and ending up getting pinned down to the mattress with them!

So why does you baby wake so easily from what you think is the deepest of sleeps?
According to Professor James J. McKenna who is recognized as the world's leading authority on mother-infant co-sleeping. 'Infants are biologically programmed to sense that something different or dangerous has taken place' Being separated from their care giver. They feel it intuitively through their skin that there is change' such as the softness of their mothers touch, the warmth of mother's body, the gentleness of mother's moving, the smells of mother's milk, the movement of the mothers breathing and heartbeat and the feeling of being secure and protected. They feel the separation and they awake like an alarm to call the caregiver back ' It's a survival instinct!
