Sleeping
Has anyone had successful nights of their baby sleeping in their bassinet/crib? My baby will only sleep on his dads and my chest but I don’t even get a descent night of sleep with him on me. I either wake up to check on him or wake up due to him moving around. It’s 5am and I tried putting him to sleep in his bassinet once he fell asleep in my arms and he woke up 4 times within the hour. And this is me picking him up to rock him to sleep and then placing him down again to sleep. I have a 15 month old too so I’m just worn out by the end of the day and would like a bit of sleep. Any one have recommendations? I tried putting a shirt of mine as the sheet in his bassinet and no luck.

My baby doesn't sleep in her bassinet either, every time i put her down, she wakes up. Its been very rough. I don't get any sleep 😭😭
I would watch transfer videos. How to trick your baby as you transfer them into the crib. But yes sound machines, swaddles (we have ones without arms being contained), and then once they are deep asleep you place them in the crib, you keep your arms there and pretend like they are still in your arms. I keep my arms there, one on shoulder and one on butt/legs until she is back in a deep sleep.

My baby has been sleeping in his crib since we came home, I do white noise, sleep sack, and he goes to bed every night same time. He does move and it will wake me and him but as long as he’s not crying I leave him and he typically goes back to sleep! You may need to swaddle him
