This is going to be a short post but I've been having issues getting her to go to sleep at night. A few tricks that have worked for me.
#1 .Make sure she eats till she stops, don't try to stop her eating. Then she will usually fall asleep on me, and I can careful set her down in her bassinet.
#2. I have one of those wedges with the sides, it makes the bassinet more comfortable.
#3. She is a little over 3 weeks and I think she is just over being swaddled, pay attention if they want to have their arms and legs free, they are probably sick of the swaddling.
#4. In between diaper change. I try to change her diaper a little before she is done eating so I don't have to do it afterwards and wake her up. It's important to make sure she is either almost asleep or asleep before putting her down.
Again these are what works for me! But can't hurt to try if you're having trouble. I do not recommend letting the baby co sleep with you. I have seen babies that have been squished and they can become severely retarded or worse, they die. It's not worth it.
Can't wait for Monday! We have a newborn photoshoot!
