Mommies!! Sleep advice?

Question

Hey girls so I am just wanting some tips and advice on getting my 6 week old to sleep on her own in her bassinet at night. I am having a hard time getting sleep and naps during the day because she doesn’t want to be put down, I try swaddling but she cries within 30 minutes typically.

Answer

The thing that works best for me is putting an electric heating pad on high in her bassinet for 10-15 minutes before I lay her in it, that way it is already warm when I lay her down. I take the heating pad out and lay her down with my hand on her chest until she fully settles again. She will usually sleep about 3 hours the first time and then about 2.5 hours the second time. After that she won’t go back in it, but at least I manage 2 decent stretches of solo sleep.

Answer

Following/ 
My baby will sleep the first night stretch in his rock and play while I nervously check on him and his breathing. The second time he falls asleep I in a hoppy in my lap   During the day if I want him to nap for longer than 45 min it mean he’s going to be on a pillow on my bed with my head right next to him and my arm be hind him as he sleeps in his side. I would love to trabsitionnhim to his halo basskney

From get go i always out william in the bassinet for every nap so he is use to it and now 5 weeks old we are doing daytime naos in the cot so it wont be such a transition for cot for the nightime. It sounds cruel but i had to be cruel to be kind so from get go i would let him cry for 3 or 4 minutes before settling but i wouldnt give up nor would i pick him up. It worked he now self settles and sleeps in his bassinet and or cot with no problems... its persistance if he starts falling asleep 9n me i put him straight down into his bassinet awake

Answer

I just started this past Sunday with getting her to sleep in her bassinet. I have tons of swaddles and at first she wasn’t fond of them in the beginning so I stopped. I tried them again and so far so good. I still have to lay her down once she is asleep. I also started using a white noise sound machine. This week I’ve really tried watching her sleep cues and try and get her down for s nap within an hour and s half of being up. She usually wakes up within a few minutes and I go in and pick her up sooth her back to sleep and she will sleep for about 30 minutes to an hour. Yesterday she took a three hour nap! I was shocked. Today was not a very good day for naps but we survived. Before every nap and bedtime has been on me.
