Sleeping Suggestions??

Question

My little one turns three weeks old tomorrow. She tends to fall asleep in the comfort of my arms, but when I place her in her bassinet she starts crying. I’m looking for suggestions on how to lay her down and sleep on her own (without being held). TIA!

Answer

Swaddling has helped us.  Also prewarming the bassinet with a heating pad (remove when you put baby down) makes the transition less jarring.

Answer

Halo sack is nice. Does he spit up a lot?

Answer

The swaddle is key! A pacifier works wonders too.

Answer

Definitely swaddling; I’d recommend the Love to Dream swaddle. Try a rice sock too. Warm it up in the microwave and place it where she sleeps before laying her down (I place it while I’m feeding my son). By the time you lay her down, it should be nice and warm and sock should have cooled down. You could place the sock by her side

Answer

Swaddle and laying our guy down when he’s sleepy but not completely asleep as worked for us. Sometimes we double swaddle at night

Answer

Swaddling and a white noise machine. Also look up taking cara babies on IG, I took her newborn sleep class and she has great tips

Answer

We have been using the rock and play and thankfully our son loves it.  I was cosleeping with him for the first two weeks but missed having my husband in bed.

Answer

I have found that using a swaddle helps TREMENDOUSLY! it helps with the warmth and helps with mine as well. He does the same, especially at night. But with a swaddle and binky, it’s about the only way he will go down. Give it a try

Answer

Swaddling + white noise + sometimes pacifier

Answer

Mine does the same, but hates to be swaddled. 🙄 we have to wrap him in a small blanket with his arms free. I know they say don’t use blankets when they are in the bassinet, but he won’t sleep any other way.
