My daughter is 7 weeks old and she won’t sleep in her bassinet!!! She wants to co sleep with me and as much as I try to put her in her bassinet it doesn’t work. I’ve tried white noise, dark room, putting her down while sleepy, when in deep sleep, swaddled, etc. She slept in it the first 2 weeks no problem but then it all went down hill. Now the longest she’s slept in it is an hour.

It’s so beyond frustrating to constantly try to put her in her bassinet only for her to start screaming 5 minutes later. She’s just a very clingy baby in general. She’s not impressed with the swing, the gym is a miss with her, forget about putting her on her newborn lounger, and if I’m lucky 5 minutes in the bouncer.

And because all she wants to do is be held and sleep on me, she’s overly tired and fussy. My nerves are shot because I can’t get much sleep myself, I’m fighting to get her to sleep in her bassinet and I’m fighting to stay awake when she’s sleeping on me because I’m scared to have her sleep on me while I’m sleeping. I can’t even eat or drink coffee without her crying and wanting to be held by me. She nursed for an hour straight earlier today.

I love her so so so much, she’s my entire world, but I’m just so frustrated. I’m trying to fight for her to be safe and healthy and trying to hold on to my sanity.
