Caleb is only a week old, and since we've brought him home, I cannot get him to stay in the bassinet. He fusses everytime I lie him down in it. I would put him in the crib at night, if he and DD weren't sharing a room. He prefers sleeping next to me. I did Co-sleep w/ DD, but it took us forever to break her and we didn't want a repeat situation, but I'm afraid I don't have much of a choice at this point. At the hospital, he didn't like the little cart they had him in either, so he wouldn't let me sleep unless he was laying next to me. Any ideas on how to get him to sleep in the bassinet or should I just give up so I can get some rest. TIA.
And is he is swaddled...but it doesn't seem to really make a difference.
Re: Baby hates bassinet
We had the same situation. Neither of our twins liked the bassinet from day one that we brought them home. I could not understand it, they slept fine in the hospital bassinet. They would only sleep in the bed with us which freaked me out. Needless to say we never slept in fear of rolling on one of them. After about a week of feeding them a good bottle, rocking and putting them in the bassinet asleep, they adjusted and are okay now. I bet swaddling would really help too. I hated the idea, but once we did it they slept so much better.
