How do you all put your baby to sleep?

Yes you're completely right, leaving to cry is outdated and not recommended anymore (plus it's heartbreaking for us Mamas to hear them cry 😭). My health visitor shared a good link with some useful tips on but my baby still feeds to sleep, then I leave him upright on my chest for 10-20 mins and then put in his next to me feet/bum first - https://www.nhs.uk/baby/caring-for-a-newborn/helping-your-baby-to-sleep/

Breast or bottle then rock a little. Sometimes he's still awake when I put him in the moses basket/cot but then he falls asleep himself most of the time

At the moment, I place the baby on my chest and then put the baby in the cot, but I've been told I'm doing it wrong.

@Annetta sounds like you’re doing it perfectly. I think your husband should research and learn that letting babies cry is not recommended

If that's what works for you I don't see the issue? He falls asleep on my chest sometim3s also. Mainly during the day and I will let him lie there a while and then will put him down sometimes

@Leah thank you so much because I felt so bad

At this age, unless you have a unicorn baby, they need help to get to sleep. They don't develop the skill to self settle until at least 4-6 months. You can't create bad habits this young. We put our boy down drowsy with his dummy and he eventually falls asleep (can take a while if he keeps spitting his dummy out though).

I feed to sleep…and move over Baby is so so young. They can’t be taught anything at this age. They do not recommend any sleep training until past 6 months For now they just need love and comfort

Babies don’t just know how to fall asleep independently, especially when they’re crying and in a state of distress. I would say you chat with your husband and recommend that he looks into this, as holding your baby to sleep is completely normal. I’ve done it for both of my kids. If baby is crying when you transfer them into the cot however ans not staying settled, I’d recommend going real slowly, bum down before head. Once baby is in the cot, place a hand on their chest (can also place your other on their forehead) and as you feel them relax, slowly remove the pressure of your hand until you aren’t touching them anymore. The hand pressure makes them feel like they’re still on your chest so keeps them asleep and calm. Honestly though, there is nothing wrong with holding your baby to sleep. Do not let people tell you there is!!

I let her fall asleep in my arms/on my chest then slowly pop her in her Moses basket but leave me hands under her head and back for a while and slowly move them away so she doesn’t startle xx

We have found that swaddling with a Velcro swaddle wrap and putting on white noise has made baby much happier to be put down drowsy and go to sleep by herself

This is the only way our bubs will sleep! I then transfer him to his cot or if it’s during the day I’ll either put him in his pram so I can get on with jobs
