My 2 mo baby girl never got used to sleeping in her crib. We struggled for weeks before giving in and buying a rocking swing. She goes to sleep only once rocked and we try and switch it off after she has slept. We have been putting her to sleep at night on the swing but making sure it's snug and safe. But I read on Google that it's not advisable and now I am filled with guilt for never trying harder (deal with the meltdowns). And now, she just won't listen no matter how many times I place her in the crib. I am so worried for her spine health and it's driving me crazy. Please tell me your experiences if you had any and how did you successfully transition your kid to the crib? She hates being swaddled but I've never tried a weighted swaddle.
Please give me as many suggestions as possible (those that have legit worked)

You know something that helps my little one sleep through the night. āMy mil found these things that are like giant pool noodles that we lay on both sides of her under her fitted sheet to make her feel secure she got it off temu but they make her feel
Safe I feel because she sleeps for the whole night in between those things while
Swaddled and obv full tummy. Another thing I do is I donāt have her lay her head flat I bought a baby head pillow off Amazon that had like an indent in it where her head lays and keeps them from
Getting flat head that is another thing I believe helps her sleep
Too. You can try those not sure if they will work
For you but I hope something does because swings arenāt good šš½š

I had a similar problem. Except I was sleeping in the nursery room with her on the lounger. I use s Snuggle Me. I know it's not advisable but I sleep with her in my bed right next to her. She feels safe and I can hear her if she needs anything. She is growing out of it quick so we bought a Dockatot and will be transitioning her in there soon. We also have a warmies that you can get on Amazon. I haven't put too much effort on using the warmies since I'm right next to her. She is not swaddled! She hated that since day one. She is an active sleeper but will sleep about 6-7 hrs in it on a good night. I then have to go back to the lounger to feed her cuz then she eats every two hours.
I spoke to my cousin about this because I felt bad that she was struggling to stay in the Snuggle Me. She has a daughter that is 6 months and has already gone through this. But they have to kinda get used to it. I'm not saying to let them cry it out. I started by letting her in it for a few hours at a time and worked my way up.

Hope this helps.š

My daughter never stayed asleep in her bassinet, no matter what I tried. I just gave in, and we cosleep. She is going on 4 months old now.
