Getting baby to sleep in bassinet/ crib HELP!!!
Have an almost 3month old who is fighting the crib and bassinet. She has basically slept on me or my wife all night long since she has been born. She came into the world with colic and oral ties which are both alleviated now.
She gets her first nap of the day In her crib usually but she can’t make it more than 20min. She can’t connect the sleep cycle. Night time sleep she can’t make it at all. We’ve been trying to get her in bassinet/crib for 7 nights now. Usually a 2-4 hour process before we pack it in and one of us continues to hold her overnight again. We obviously don’t want her to get to worked up since she’s only 3 month old.
We feel like we have tried it all but maybe we are missing something?! We easily have 10 different swaddles/sleep sacks we’ve tried, the rooms are dark and we are using sound machine as well. She is well fed 12lb 10oz at 3 months and we follow and log all of her wake windows/feedings since the day she was born(literally haven’t missed one).
Our first daughter also had colic and screamed for a solid 16weeks but she learned to sleep in her crib at 3months and thankfully was a solid sleeper once we trained her. It only took 10 days max for her to grasp it( it wasn’t super easy but not this hard).The younger one seems like it’s going to be harder.
So in closing I have 2 questions.
1-any tips or tricks I’m missing?
2-any parents who held their babies all night how long did that last for you? How hard wa she habit to break?
Thanks!!!
