Tips to get the baby sleeping without carrying him
My baby will only sleep while I carry him and as soon as we put him down during the day he tends to wake up within 10 minutes. We’ve been doing lots of contact naps lately as a result. Our doula has said to stop doing this asap or it will be a hard habit to break down the line. How does everyone get their babies to fall asleep and stay asleep in the bassinet?

It won't be hard to break the habit later. It's a newborn! Please don't worry about it yet! First couple months are do what you need to so they sleep! I feed my kids to sleep. Then sleep train them at 4 months. My kids all sleep great!
I am struggling myself as well. My baby wakes up so quickly once I put him down in his bassinet.
We contact nap during the day for the most part and then he sleeps in his bassinet at night. We do a heating pad on the changing table and in the bassinet. We also do warm bottles only at night. They’re less warm during the day. And he’ll stay in the lounging pillow for naps during the day for the most part if we’re sitting next to him.
