Help! 😭😭😭

Baby is now 8 weeks old and will ONLY sleep on me. We have been using the Halo Bassinet since his first night home. He would sleep anywhere from 2-8 hours a night. Waking during the night only to eat, then right back to bed. The past 2 nights, he would not sleep in the bassinet, so we would cuddle up on the couch. At that time, I decided sleep was more important 😅

Tonight, I was determined to get him back in the bassinet as I don’t want to form bad sleep habits. I’ve put him down 5 times now and he’s up within 15 mins screaming his head off. The second I pick him up, he’s out like a light. Dad even tried comforting him to no avail.

Has anyone experienced this? He’s too young in my opinion to let him cry it out. . . . Please help! I’m terrified that I am doomed to spend the next few months on the couch 😭😭😭😭
