Seriously, how can I get baby to sleep in his bassinet!? 😭

Question

My little one wakes and screams within 20mins of being put on his back.
This mumma needs sleep. 
I've tried a slight incline, lights, noise, swaddle, he's clean n fed.
I don't know what to try...

Answer

To be completely honest I know I’ll probably get a lot of bad responses but my daughter would not sleep unless she was laying on us! She would be knocked out and the moment we put her down she was wide awoke. We started laying her on her stomach and that is literally the only thing that works! She will now sleep in her own bassinet with no issues.

Answer

Omg following!!  We’re having the exact same problem with our son! We feed him change him rock him to sleep with the sound machine on a little bit of light and we put him On his back in the pack and play in our bedroom within 10 minutes he starts to cry we pick him up he immediately stopped crying every once in a while he’ll maybe do two hours of sleep but then that’s about it

Answer

My first was a stomach sleeper. She only slept 45 mins at a time on her back. I know it's frowned upon but she finally started sleeping when I put her on her stomach. They make mesh hammocks to fit in the crib now so they can lay on their stomach and breathe better. Baby might be gassy though.

Answer

Cry it out , second time mommy here and exclusively breast feeding this time around and he’ll sometimes use me as a pacifier he’ll go to sleep he spits the nipple out himself so I lay him down Aaand he freaks out lol once I know this is what he’s doing I’ll let him fight it out a bit so when I do finally pick him up he’s tired and stays asleep

Answer

Is baby kicking and thrashing? If so, could be gas.

Answer

Have you tried gripe water? It helps my girl sleep and feel better almost immediately.

Answer

My baby was doing so good in her bassinet until last night 😔 Everytime I put her down today she wakes up . I’m going to let her just lay in there .

Answer

My baby didn’t like the bassinet either so we use this. I call it a baby hammock. I put on the vibration when she gets a little fussy and give her pacifier

Answer

I just saw this in another group, and haven’t tried it yet, but another mom suggested taking a worn shirt and using it as a sheet in the bassinet. This way the baby feels it is sleeping on/near you

Answer

I had to cushion mine with soft blankets tucked around the little mattress and that worked wonders.
