9 week old sleep habits

Tracy

Hello!

My son will be 9 weeks old in a couple days and he refuses his bassinet. He will only sleep solidly at night for a few hours if he is in my arms or on my chest. Many times, we will also put him between us with “bumpers” on either side of him so he can’t roll, but even last night he woke up after a couple hours screaming bloody murder. During the day; however, he will sleep in a cradle and swing and even on his back or side on a soft/fluffy elephant mat/pad. How in the world can we transition him into his bassinet and out of the bed? Every time we try, he cries and I am not about the cry-it-out method this young in age. Any suggestions would be amazing on how to remedy this!
