Hi ladies.
I don't know what to do. He won't sleep anywhere else apart from on me today. It's now 10.30pm and I can't do this all night. I love the cuddles but he needs to go down to sleep in his bassinet.
I've tried everything I can think of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Re: My 3 day old will only sleep on me - advice appreciated
ETA that I put a blanket that smells like me over him in the swing.. Never close to his face but that has seemed to really help..
I swaddled him, kept him close to my chest for an hour, put a white noise womb sounds track on and used one of my cotton t shirts as a base sheet in the bassinet and it worked like a charm.
In fact, it worked almost too well. He slept for 6 hours and I had to eventually wake him up for a feed. I still got hardly any sleep because I was convinced he might not be breathing or in a coma or something else ridiculous and had to check on him every half an hour.
