Premature baby won’t sleep in bassinet

Hi! What really helped with my litlle girl is white noise and love to dream swaddle. Also when putting the baby in the bassinet put his bottom first and then the head.I know is difficult, but it will get better! ☺️

Will he settle in a Moses basket?x

Oh I have I have ignored that as it’s the only way I sleep

Have you tried a sleeping bag? Snuggle him in the bag, feed and bed with white noise. I personally recommend Ewan the sheep - he is white noise and heart beat

My little one was the same, she would only sleep being held. I ended up sitting up most nights and it was really taking it's toll.
Have you tried the bassinet in a different room ? I have no idea if it was a coincidence but the first time my little one eventually settled (around 8 weeks old) was in the lounge. I slept on the sofa for a few nights and then was able to move the next to me into the bedroom again.
I know it is really tough, just know it does get better xx

Try different types of swaddle. I 2nd the love to dream. It was a life saver for me as my LO was the same for the first couple weeks

Put the feet down 1st, then the bottom. Then hold for several seconds, then slowly lower the body down and then the head. Try patting his thigh whilst doing so.

Another method is to lay down on the side 1st, so you can keep patting the bottom. Once laying in crib on side, then gently roll onto the back, making sure to hold the hands if not swaddled, to prevent startle reflex

Oh, also, the first few weeks he slept in his pram with a rocket turned on all night. Gosh, id almost forgotten this! Honestly, its was the ONLY thing he would sleep in
