Co-sleeping

I’m desperate 😟

My baby REFUSES to sleep in her bassinet 😔

I do not want to co-sleep because I’m absolutely terrified of SIDS, but I’m so exhausted. She’s only 3 days old, but since she was born I’ve had about 6 hours total of sleep.

We’re breastfeeding (which in itself is killing me) and I wanted to avoid pacifiers at all cost. Well I gave in and tried one, just to TRY to get her to sleep in the bassinet for even an hour, but she’ll suckle for maybe 10-25 minutes and then be squalling. I feel like I’m failing already 😢

I’ve got her laying in the bed with us now and I notice myself nodding off for a second here and there and scare myself awake.

Please help, anything. I know I’m also hormonal, and mainly sleep deprived, but I have cried my eyes out all night because I’ve done nothing but put her in and out of the bassinet every 10 minutes 😔
