Answer

My baby likes to fall asleep I. His swing. I then move him to a bassinet. He likes being held. Don't want that to become the. Len so j move him on a flat surface after he falls asleep to get him more used to it.

Answer

I read that in the 4th trimester (birth to 3 months) babies are not yet able to be comfortable in their surroundings and like to be swaddled knowing that they are in tight quarters due to being in the womb.  I swaddled my son tell he was strong enough to let his hands out.  Is your baby not sleeping on their back already? They should be since swaddling can be dangerous if they are on their tummy but this is only what I read from what to expect the first year.  I used my bassinet for my son tell about 3 months then transitioned to the crib.  Took a good 1 1/2-2 weeks until he got comfy enough to take long naps and sleep there at night.  I would rock my son for about 30 minutes to get him to sleep then shorten the time until he learned to fall asleep on his own.
