How To Get Your Newborn to Sleep in Bassinet
Finally, I figured out that it has to happen only slowly. I used to use a heating pad and heat the baby’s bassinet up a little before getting off my son my arms.
New born have a very powerful sense of smell when it comes to recognizing their mommy's in particular. So you would undoubtedly be better off if you put a worn shirt of yours in the bassinet for your baby to believe you're around.
Life is tough with newborns! The first few months is was next to impossible for me to sleep eight hours in the night in one go with no small one wailing in the middle of the night and my having to tend to him in return!
It is indeed a very long battle getting the baby used to sleeping all by himself! You have to be really patient with it. It took a few months for us to receive our son to actually sleep in his own room, in his bed!
