How do I get my newborn to sleep in his bed he wants to sleep on me all night and I am afraid to let…

@alyssa5792, I know I love holding him but I am scared to sleep holding him!

No, definitely don’t sleep holding him. I’m going through the same thing with my new born. Does he just not like his bassinet? We had to try a few different ones with my son until we finally found one that he liked. Consistency is key. Just through out the day when he falls asleep try putting him in it every time.

I am buying a swing today lol I Love he wants to be on me all the time and yes sleepless nights I’ve had but I wouldn’t trade them for nothing

@dee2115, It one of the side sleepers for the bed and I just recently moved it to my moms bed and he slept in it fine but not in my bed!!!

I got this one for my son and he LOVES it. It looks super comfy, it inclines, and I think that he likes that he’s not super flat in it.

I would just keep trying different things until you find what works for you and him. I know it’s hard, it’s been hard for me too. I already have a 3 year old I co sleep with so putting the baby in the bed with me is not an option, and I’m like you and don’t feel okay with holding him and sleeping. 😔

Have you tried swaddling him? He needs to feel like he’s being held.

This is my 3rd time having a newborn NEITHER of my other two would allow me to put them in the crib or anything at night so I co-slept, bc I felt it was easier to breastfeed. But this time with our newborn my husband bought a actual swaddle blanet and it helped with my newbie. She slept longer and she sleeps in her bassinet. Without the swaddle her wild motion of her hands kept waking her and making her mad. So maybe go buy one and trg that too.

@d-lane-knee11, yes I swaddle him and everything and he still doesn’t want to sleep in his bed

@beachcutie0808, I am definitely going to try everything

I swaddle my baby girl and it helps her sleep in her bassinet.

Try cuddling with the swaddle blanket before you swaddle. Mamas smell is comforting to them it may help

I would recommend you get a bassinet that goes on the bed, my son hated his crib until he was 3 months. So he slept in his bassinet until we switched him to his crib.

@geraldinetov, I have that and he doesn’t want to sleep in it at all
