I used a good swaddle blanket and it has helped me a lot

We use a love to dream swaddle that my son seems to like. I got them from vinted as they are quite expensive new x

The first few weeks are just about survival 😭 good luck

Here are some things that may help your baby settle when put down. White noise, swaddle, wait until they are asleep then transfer them. Wait until they are in a deep sleep before transferring which can take up to about 20 minutes. You'll need to experiment to see how long it takes for them. Sleep with their crib sheet a night so it smells of you. Warm their crib with a hot water bottle before putting them in... When you are transferring them put them down feet first, then bum, then head last very slowly. Then I put my hands on top of my lo for a few moments until he settles. Hope something helps.

Thank you all!! I’ll give some of this ago!

Love to dream swaddle or a ergo pouch hands down the best ting I brought for baby he sleeps so good now !
