Newborn baby
I just had my daughter 2 weeks ago everytime I put her down she scream cries but she only does this at night I’m not really sure what I could do besides lay her on my chest so she can sleep I wait until she is in a deep sleep before I lay her down but she wakes up has any other mothers went through this with there children before I’m at a loss and could really use some answers

You can try putting a heating pad in the bassinet to make the bed warm before putting her in and also you can try sleeping with her sheets at night and rotating them each night. So it smells like you.
Rather than that I’ve caved and we have co slept
We cosleep as then the baby isn't on their own, I can feed as they want and it's safer than ending up falling asleep together. Make sure you read sleep guidance from the lullaby trust as things like heating pads are a risk
If baby can't smell you they're scared. Until the eyes start working keep baby very close. I'd highly recommend co sleeping so you both can get some rest. Cosleeping teaches baby to breathe and you'll sync sleep cycles.

Yes. we just ended up sleeping in bed sharing since I got home from the hospital. My daughter will scream if I put her down in the crib to the stay and she's 10 months old. There was no other way not all kids are the same my first sleeps in crib no problem
