Okay, so my daughter is a week old today and she refuses to sleep laying flat on her back in her bassinet. She'll sleep while I'm holding her, in her swing, lying next to me on my bed, or in her bouncy seat, but not in the bassinet. Any advice? She seemed to sleep okay in the hospital bassinet, but will not sleep in ours.
Thanks ladies! I thought about a rock n play, I just wasn't sure if it was safe for sleeping.

My son was like that until I figured out the his bassinet pad wasn't soft enough. Luckily ours came apart. What I did was wrap a receiving blanket around the pad. Then put the cover sheet back over it then he slept on his back no problem. Maybe try to wrapping a blanket around it tightly. It might just not be soft enough for her.
mine hated the bassinet too! We tried a rock n play and that worked a lot better. I think being on a slight incline made her more comfortable. we moved her to her crib at 3 months and she transitioned fine
@mama_kay I haven't tried our crib yet, but I really want to have her in our room for now. I hope you have better luck soon! I know I'm about to lose my mind and it's only been a week. Lol
I laid with her on my chest at night.. so I didn't sleep much, but she slept good on her back in her crib. My daughter is 2 months now & im having the hardest time keeping her asleep after laying her down anywhere. She wakes up right away! & cries until me or her dad pick her up.
@mama_kay How did you get any rest at night? I'm having a really hard time. My husband and I have to take turns staying up with her, but it's usually mostly me staying up because she has to nurse so often.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
How long do you hold her after she falls asleep? My almost one year falls asleep in my arms then I have to hold her for like 20 minutes after then put her in her crib
