My baby is 9 days old. The first like 6 days I nursed him while he was laying on the “breast friend” pillow. It’s the one that wraps around my back for back support (I LOVE it). Well, I had to sleep sitting up all those nights since he was laying on me.

My boyfriend and I are trying to get him to sleep in a co-sleeper thing that goes in between us since he shouldn’t be laying on me during the night. But every time we lay him down once he falls asleep, we put a pacifier in his mouth and swaddle him and he’ll sleep for a few mins but then wakes up. He’ll sleep for hours at a time when I hold him though.

Is this just how babies are or is it that he’s already in a bad sleeping habit? I need suggestions of how to get him to sleep in the co-sleeper better.

Thanks 👶🏼
