How to get baby to sleep in crib?

Lovemyfireman1

I'm on my 2nd child but I can't seem to get this one to sleep more than 15 minutes in her crib.  Any tips?  She is in a swaddle me, refuses pacifiers, and has a seahorse and sound machine.

maybe try to incline one end so that she isn't flat?  where does she like to sleep?

I had to do this.  DD still will only sleep about 30 minutes max, but I rolled a receiving blanket and placed it under her feet, for she likes to have her feet up.  With DS we had to incline him at his head.  Oh, and DD just started sleeping in there for short time periods.  She is almost 4 weeks.  It took lots of attempts for us to be successful.

We are not in the crib yet, but with my first, i left a shirt in there, kind of on top of her swaddle blanket, so she could smell me. That along with a good swaddle, noise machine and prayers (lol), it worked.

I slept on an air mattress on the floor in his nursery for about a week to get him used to his crib!

He has been wonderful since!
