Anyone have any tips on how to get baby to sleep in the bassinet/crib? My little guy is 4 days old and screams every time we try to put him down. Don't want him to get used to co sleeping but it seems to be the only way any of us get sleep.
Baby will sleep in our arms or in the swing, or in the bouncy hair that vibrates. Putting him in the bassinet has been a complete disaster. but the last two days for some reason when we put him in it, he stays asleep! He's sleeping in it right now and has been since his last feeding at around 6! Maybe he just needed to get used to it. Thank you all so much for your input! and good luck with you littles! @klove2016 @kimberkatherine @lisetteo
My little one only sleeps in her mamaroo...even when she's passed out we try to out her in bassinet but she wakes up and screams. I don't want her to get used to mamaroo but the only way we can get some sleep....even though if it's a light sleep.
I put my son in his bassinet, rocker or swing to sleep during naps in the daytime so that at night he is accustomed to that. I do cosleep with him but I plan on adjusting him to his crib at around 4-6 months maybe a little sooner, who knows. I'm told to just tough it out the first few nights to a week because those are hard trying to get baby adjusted. I don't know about brand new babies and getting them adjusted but I guess you have to tough it out with them too. just be sure they're fed, fresh diaper and burped because they may be fussy out of a need for something!! I also take the shirt off that I wore that day and put that over my son like an extra blanket so he has something that smells like me and it comforts him
@dayala615 you too, mama!
