Swing or bassinet
We've been co-sleeping/bed-sharing with our one month old (5 weeks tomorrow) since she and I came home from the hospital. While I love the cuddles I do want our bed back too. I will add too, that we try to make it as safe as possible and want her in a safe situation. She doesn't like sleeping by herself, however we've been putting her in her swing (pic below) close to daily, since she came home and at first she only liked it for a few minutes, now it could be an hour, before she protests, asleep or awake! She likes the music and rocking motion it seems and seems fascinated by the mobile when she's awake and not sleepy. We can probably get her used to the bassinet in a similar way, but I'm wondering if we should just get two of these? My husband says the music would drive him crazy, lol, but we could just do it with white noise and see if it has the same effect. He's saying it's probably good for her to learn how to sleep in different conditions. I do agree, as our older daughter can't take naps at friends' houses and stuff. Just not sure of the best route here. Anyway tia!
Cry
Hey! I just need some advice, please.
My nearly 6 week old girl is so unsettled. She eats well and naps well, however when she’s awake she’s fine for about 5 minutes and then starts crying. I settle her, but 5 minutes later it happens again. This goes on until her next feed.
I’m convinced she hates me 😓 What am I doing wrong?
I change her nappies (sometimes too often 😁) I feed her (Kendamil formula 4oz around every 2-3 hrs) and I always make sure she burps. We go for walks, I play with her, and I let her sit in her bouncer. I’ve literally tried everything but she still seems so unsettled after just 5 minutes 😢😢
