Question

Considering baby doesn't want to sleep in the crib or bassinet at all.
WE HAVE TRIED IT ALL.  BASSINET. PACK AND PLAY. CRIB. 
HE WOULD SLEEP IN THE SWING OR IF HELD FOR NAPS.

Answer

We had issues with my son not wanting to sleep in the bassinet and we had to try a lot of things before he was comfortable enough to sleep. 
We got a 2” firm foam mattress for the bassinet because they are really just a piece of wooden board with some minimal padding- not super comfy. We had to find the right way to swaddle him. He hated his arms being down by his sides so we got the Love to Dream Swaddle Up and he was able to have his hands near his face but still be snuggly swaddled. We also would take a rice pack and warm it up and lay it in the bassinet for a few minutes before we put him in so it was warm and cozy. Also, we always have a fan and a white noise machine running and no lights at all. When we made these changes he slept great. Take one small thing by away and he’d wake up. You have to find what your baby needs to safely sleep. 
I can’t recommend bed sharing with a small infant because I almost fell asleep so many times while nursing him in the middle of the night. For me, I just felt it was too much of a risk. I would never survived if I accidentally rolled over on him and something happened. If I had a co-sleeper where I couldn’t roll over on him but he was next to me, I may have considered it.

Answer

Holding would be the safest but only if you're awake. A baby carrier would be good in this case if you had other things to do. Swing is fine if you're also awake to supervise. None of these options are good if you plan to sleep as well. Keep working on putting baby to sleep in a safe place and flat on their back

Answer

Swings are fine for naps, but my son didn't sleep in them for long. Bed sharing is actually encouraged in many other cultures and can help reduce chance of SIDS. There's a few important factors such as are you a heavy sleeper, drink, or take medications? I slept tummy to tummy with my son when he stopped sleeping anywhere else at 2 months. It's recommended that you do not use blankets or comforters (just like if he were in the crib).

Answer

We've brought the baby swing in the bedroom for the baby to sleep in a handful of times for our sanity.
What we still do at naptime in the pack n play is lay our son on the boppy with his head, neck and shoulders on it because the sides coming down give kind of a sensation of being held.

Answer

I co sleep with my daughter and we both sleep so well. She sleeps throughout the entire night.. There are safety measures such as no drinking, no sleeping medicine, don't do it if you are a heavy sleeler, no blankets or sheets or extra anything near her. But its so nice not to have to get up in the middle of the night to feed her. sleeper, can also get the little cots that go right next to bed that has one side open to you if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Answer

Hold. BUT only when you are awake.  No unsupervised sleeping at all while you’re sleeping, or baby in swing, or bed sharing.

Answer

Held, but only if you are awake and continue to work on sleeping in safe spaces. It will happen eventually
