Sleeping Spot

How can I get my 3.5 week old to sleep in her crib instead of only wanting to cosleep? I do not want to cosleep but it is the only way she will sleep and we do get a decent amount of sleep doing it.

are you swaddling her in the crib

@Barira Yes but she doesn’t love her arms being swaddled so we leave them out

yeah my son also doesn’t like his arms being swaddled but when they’re out he wakes himself up by getting startled by his own movements.. what helped him sleep longer and in his bassinet was swaddling him with a stretchy swaddle (we now exclusively only use the copper Pearl swaddles!) & turning on white noise in the room

We use a transitional arms up swaddle, swaddledesigns makes a swaddlesack that’s on Amazon

I’m having the same issue, and people have recommended weighted swaddles as well! I’m going to be trying this for my 3 week old! Fingers crossed.

@Katrina let me know how that works for you!!

@Hannah i will have to try that!

@Barira i will have to try that brand!

@Katrina hi mama, i just wanted to let you know weighted swaddles have been recalled by many retailers and are considered unsafe for sleep. the AAP has advised against them for a while now. i just wanted to let you know out of concern i hope im not sounding judgy! i was looking into using them as well but found a lot of info advising against it :/ unfortunately they are still sold despite them being unsafe
