Anyone else deal with this with a three week old?! it’s very rare that she stays asleep in her bassinet. How did you work on this transition? I’m worried she’ll get too used to sleeping on me. Even though I love it during the day, it’s not practical overnight.
She’s gotten a couple 2 to 4 hour stretches in her bassinet, but I’m not sure what we did differently to help her fall asleep .
I think she struggles with trapped gas, any advice for that? 🫶🏼🤞🏼

Trying these both thank you 🙏🏼

That’s me at the moment too (mine is 3 weeks as well)
We had some really good nights before with the transition to the bassinet but it’s seemingly getting harder and harder. She’ll go down but then wake up 20-30mins later (if I can get her down - mostly just have to pick her back up and then she falls asleep on me again)
I’ve got no help but if it’s makes you feel less alone, I’m in it as well

At that age we rocked my son until he was asleep (lying on thighs, rocking side to side) and then transferred him to the bassinet. It also took him a couple of weeks until he knew the bassinet is a safe sleeping space.

And regarding swaddling, my son sleeps with his arms up, so the love to dream Swaddles worked really well for him

I have a 5 week old. We swaddle her and then rock her in the cradle position with the shusher machine. She will fuss for awhile first bc she’s swaddled but eventually falls asleep. Sometimes we use a pacifier but most of the time she does not like the pacifier. Once she is in a deep sleep I will transfer her to the bassinet, bottoms first then head; then I’ll keep my hand on her chest for about a minute or less to make sure she is calm then slowly release. My LO sleeps anywhere between 2-7 hours before waking. She is now starting to sleep longer stretches throughout the night. I’ve tried the swaddle up where her arms are in the up position but she occasionally falls asleep in that only during daytime naps. We use the halo sleep sack swaddle for night time sleeping. Best of luck! Zzzz

yep she’s swaddled 😅

Waiting for deep sleep is key - mine used to take 12 mins specifically and putting him down after this would wake him up. 2-4 hours is great at 3 weeks though x
