Baby bassinet struggles
We're trying to transition my 8 week old out of our bed and into the bedside bassinet. It's not going well. He'll sleep for 20-30 minutes in it then wake up and refuse to go back to sleep. He's swaddled, has a white noise machine and a fan, I put a heating pad on the mattress before he goes down so the sheet is warm, and there's also a vibrating soother in the bassinet to simulate movement. I don't know what the heck else to do to get this kid to sleep longer than 30 minutes in there. Ideas? Advice?
Update in case anyone else struggles with this: He's 10 weeks now and sleeping 4-5 hour stretches in the bassinet! I 🙌 It just took consistency and time - putting him in there every night, going to bed at the same time with him and putting my hand on him until he settled.
