Any advice for trying to get a newborn to sleep?

Also, if you haven’t already, try a white noise app. I have one called Relax Melodies. That seemed to help as well.

Have you read about the “4th trimester”? Basically think of these first few weeks as a time that you’re helping your baby adjust to this new scary world. This means giving him extra snuggles and making his environment similar to that of being in the womb. I know it’s tough, my baby did the same thing, I went a few days without getting much rest because she refused to be put down. She seems to be over that now and is able to fall asleep on her own so it will pass, don’t worry! Something I tried that I believe really helps is a weighted sleep sack. The weight helps them feel like someone is touching/holding them.

@aepilla, Some newborns have there nights and days mixed up! I had to stay up with my last baby throughout the night until we both were ready to get her schedule on track. Newborns have a set schedule your going to have to get used to his/hers until they are ready to change. I know it’s super hard momma see if daddy can help you So you can get sleep, also try giving baby a bath before bed and use lavender bath, and lotions xoxoxox good luck and don’t forget this too shall pass and your doing a great job😘

@tanirani, That looks like a decent solution for safe co sleep thank you!

@sara_fina88, thank you I’ll give em a try!

We bought Swaddle Me to zip him up because he would get out of being swaddled & snack his face & wake up. This has 1 zipper but love that it opens at bottom part for quick diaper change keeping arms tucked in. **Always burp baby I wouldn't to let him sleep & he would wake up spitting up. He wouldn't sleep newborn days it was awful until Swaddle Me but it's 2 for $25 @target.

Use bibs to catch spit up and it prolongs washing it an extra day to save sanity. (I know pricey but worth it to sleep longer). Also we put him in rocker/sleeper to mimic womb. Some days great other days no luck. Hope you sleep soon. Wake up dad & say your turn & sleep seriously you can't do it all. Good luck momma praying for you

Hey, I know it’s super hard. I’ve experienced some of that lately too and it’s hard to deal with when you are super exhausted. We use this co sleeper, keep it in the middle of the bed. One of us started off by putting our hand in there to soothe the baby or keep warm. Hopefully it works out for you soon! Keep trying and have faith
