She refuses to sleep in the bassinet and that’s where they want me to put her if I want to sleep...all she does is cry when I set her down in it and as soon as I’m holding her she’s FINE. How am I going to get any sleep 😭😭😭

Well it’s only the first day, give it time. She needs to adjust to the outside world and it’ll likely be better once you get home. You can swaddle her so she feels like she’s being held. Both my kids slept swaddled in a rock n play and slept great.

I have bed-shared with both of my kids and I will be doing the same with this baby. There are some sites that can give you advice on how to safely bed-share. Of course no large blankets, excessive pillows. If you plan to drink don’t bed share. Don’t feel wrong for doing what you feel is right for your baby.

I still bed share with my toddler about half way through the night. I was trying to break it too cause I wasn’t sure how the baby would be but looks like she’s a chest sleeper 🙃

I'm that mom who slept with baby on my chest the first 2 weeks and she has a sleep monitor that notifies me if her breathing changes.

That might be us! It was us last night. I was more worried I’d get scolded by a nurse but she came in and was like “omg she’s too cute look how cozy” I was like “....woah”

I slept with my baby in my chest or on the side of me

I did the same thing. I slept in the recliner chair. Lol I’m a super light sleeper tho.

That’s what we ended up doing. I didn’t know what else to do. I could NOT keep my eyes open but I wasn’t gonna go to sleep if she was up whining and crying. Once she found a good spot and got comfy she finally fell asleep for a while.

@garay88, actually no it doesn’t. It can increase the risk for suffocation if not done in a safe manner. Sudden infant death doesn’t have a cause. It happens.
