So I have a 3 day old newborn and she will not sleep in her bassinet .. She just wants me to hold her while she sleeps…

I've tried that and every time I put her in her bassinet she cries her eyes out . It's so tough being a mom ... So many worries 😕 @Royal leysmomma16

I usually lay my daughter on my chest to get her to fall asleep. Once I know she's in a good sleep I'll put her in her bassinet. I keep the bassinet right next to me though. The past few nights though she has been real colicky so I've been co sleeping with her.

@babyrivi, I was also scared to co sleep at the beginning . It wasn't until she was like 6 months that I let her sleep in my bed the whole night . Sometimes I would let her fall asleep and then move her.

@babyrivi, my daughter hated the bassinet . She loved the Rock and play tho! It makes them feel all snuggled up I guess

@babyrivi, well put a big pillow on the edge of the bed and lay her right next to you or tell him to scoot over and get over it! That's what I did and now my husband won't sleep without her in bed lol, just put her in the middle and relax. It's going to be ok mama, ❤️ @babyrivi

@babyrivi, Awwww that sucks have you tried to use her rocker or bouncer with her strapped in because I've had to do that too

@aalyx_xoxo,

@mommyagain, My husband is (take the whole bed) kind of guy so the I only option would to lay her on my side and I'm scared she will fall off the bed . Idk I haven't gotten much sleep since I had her . I'm just so scared @ryliannsmommy

@babyrivi,

Babies just want to feel safe and know their mommy or daddy are right next to them. I always had my baby right next to me, makes me feel safe to. I put a pillow an her half way on it and she sleeps amazing!

I think it's normal I remember not being able to sleep in any other position but on my back in sort of a sitting position me and my husband slept like that for awhile and we'd hand back and forth throughout the night and at like 2 months old we put her on her back on a firm pillow between us and one of us would sleep close to her face so she could smell our breath to know we were there

@babyrivi, SIDS happens more with babies that are sleeping alone (my baby cousin died In her crib by herself) I was to but I LOVE it now, so does my 9 month old daughter and husband. You won't, you won't forget she's right next to you. I'd try it, you'll get so much more rest!

I really would like to do that but I'm just so scared of sids or her suffocating or me rolling over , etc. @ryliannsmommy

I co sleep, I don't agree with putting babies in cribs or bassinets when there first born. They were inside you for 9 months and there not use to being away from you, I would just lay her next to you on bed. It's so much easier that way! Plus you know she's okay cause she's right next to you. @babyrivi just my advice.
