Baby sleep
Hey everyone 🤍
I’m a FTM and my baby is 15 weeks old. Since she was born, we’ve been co-sleeping, but I’d really like to start transitioning her to her own bed.
The thing is, she still wakes up pretty often during the night, and I’m not sure how to make the transition smoother for both of us. She also seems to only like sleeping on her tummy or on her side, which makes it even harder.
Do you have any tips, routines, or methods that worked for you at this age? How did you handle night wakings while moving away from co-sleeping?
Thank you so much for your help 💛

lol same here I’m a Ftm my baby is 14 week old and she only sleeps on her tummy weve only co sleep since she been born would love for her to sleep in her bassinet but she wakes up at night for bewbie and also I’m scared to put her in the bassinet while she sleeps on her tummy and I won’t wake up as easy as I do while she’s next to me I’m thinking maybe when she’s 6 months I’ll start sleep training because we’ll be out the Sid’s range
I think I swaddled my sons to get them to sleep alone in their bassinets after moving them out of my bed. I don't remember what age that was so don't know if that's helpful but I hope it is. I also used whatever shirt I wore that day as an sheet over their bed sheet so my scent was still near them and it helped them sleep better during the transition.
It might help if you put something that smells like you and or a heating pad before you put her in the bassinet and then take out the heating pad right before you put her down
I use the bassinet that goes over the bed then I’m told you can slowly start pushing it farther until you push them in to there own room
