Newborn sleep. How are you surviving?

Michelle (mamabear)

Hey ladies! I’ve got a one week old-who, like most babies-would prefer being held to sleep. I know I’m not the only one. How are you guys surviving this phase? I know there’s no real way to stick to a schedule for a newborn-so im just trying to do routine. Same thing, over and over. I just don’t know how to handle it when she won’t sleep after being put down. My other kiddos are 9 and 12. So it’s been a while since I did this. lol! I don’t want to form any “bad habits” (if she’s even old enough for it to matter right now) and my husband and I don’t want to co sleep. Any advice about how you’ve handled this stage?
