Anyone else’s newborn only want to sleep on a boppy pillow?

My baby girl would sleep like a rock swaddled at the hospital but since she’s been home we can’t swaddle her tight enough like the nurses did at the hospital. And she has actually slept in our bed swaddled on the boppy pillow the past 2 nights I know she shouldn’t but she won’t sleep in the bedside bassinet. She’ll nap HOURS during the day swaddled in a packnplay but not when it comes to going to my bedroom at night.

I put a heating pad in bassinet to just make it a tad warm, not hot, so it felt like my body heat. Then i transferred her to bassinet
please don’t make it a habit of the boppy pillow, so many things could go wrong. Some companies actually recalled their boppy pillows because of children passing. Please be careful!
or maybe invest in the mamaroo bassinet that rocks? It’s a bit of a penny so you can maybe find one on marketplace!
Good luck mama💗

I dont want to make it a habit because it worries me, I end up losing more sleep just to make sure she’s okay and I stay awake while she sleeps in it. But thank you! I’ll look into the heating pad and that mamaroo bassinet!

I didn’t have an owlet sleep sock with my first but with my second coming in 3 months, i decided to get it. I had such bad PPA and this will definitely help me a lot. That might help you too
It’s on sale for cyber monday on amazon!! It’s like $150 off right now
take a look!

Yesss mine does!! He refuses to sleep in his bassinet without the pillow. At times when I'm washing the boppy I will roll up a long baby blanket and shape it like the boppy. He loves it and will sleep. I wake up so much that I'm losing more sleep because I'm afraid of him turning his head or rolling into the side. But as soon as I take it out he will scream and won't sleep. I've even walked around with him in the Moby wrap he falls asleep but as soon as I go to put him back in his bassinet he cries and doesn't want to sleep. I do have a rocker that has sounds and vibrates but he still won't fall asleep in his bassinet without the pillow and I don't feel safe having him sleep in the rocker. I'll have to save up for the momma roo I just looked into those. They are pricey. But id rather pay that then have something bad happen.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
