How is everyone getting their baby to sleep?

Question

Now my baby is 4 weeks I’m starting to struggle with getting them to sleep. How do you all get your babies to sleep?

Answer

We have resorted to bedsharing, unfortunately. Not recommended, but it’s the only way we both sleep. I just nurse or give her a bottle, then lay her down in bed next to me and she passes out.

Answer

We’ve started a routine, I know it doesn’t mean anything yet but it helps us. We turn all the lights down in the house starting around 8. We give him a bath and he cluster feeds from 7-9ish with his last bottle being around 10 and then he falls asleep on me. I swaddle him and put him in his bassinet at that point and he sleeps 5ish hours before he wakes up hungry.

Answer

We feed, swaddle, then I turn off all the lights, turn on sound machine then rock till sleepy but not fully asleep. I let her fall the rest of the way to sleep on her own. I’ve read that this helps them learn to fall back asleep if they wake up during the night so you don’t have to get up to sooth them when sleep training. It’s worked well so far!

Answer

I feed my son,burp him and then lay him on me until he deep sleep then I lay him on my pillow and we both ko!!

Answer

I did some research and this has worked for us. White noise, swaddled, and rocking while she is sucking on pacifier. Hope you find what works for you!

Answer

Our girl wants to be rocked to sleep and while I would just love to deprive myself of sleep for her to be happy I decided to take my happy behind to buy buy baby and bought her the 4moms bassinet that rocks and sways like a swing. Didn’t enjoy spending $350 on a bassinet but at least more than just the baby is sleeping in our house now. Seriously though, we change diaper, feed, and then put her down in the bassinet sleepy but not asleep and let that puppy rock her to sleep!

Answer

We feed around 7, get her in the shower with me or my husband. It’s just much easier, we shower our first then shower her, she absolutely loves it! Then she’ll feed again like an ounce or two. We’ll swaddle her, turn off the lights and turn on the sound machine. We have blackout curtains so it’s really dark. Lay her in her bassinet when she’s drowsy. She’ll probably sleep 4-5 hours then wake up to eat.

Answer

I've boobed my older 2 to sleep til they self weaned, I'll do that again for this one. 
It's never too early for a routine. We do bubble bath, teeth, PJs, lights off in the house, and the older ones get 30min of books/cool down time in bedroom (usually asleep before 30 min are up) while baby gets nursed to sleep.
