Need help
First time mom here of a 10 week old. I feel like I’m missing something. Baby will not go to sleep in the bassinet or crib drowsy but awake or fully asleep. Baby will not co sleep in the c position. I understand that sleeping with baby in my arms is unsafe but it’s the only she will sleep…. How do people do this?

At the end of the day you know you. You know how you sleep, how heavy, if you move etc. I don’t move & wake up really easy, especially since having my first. I tried bassinet w/ my first but I ended up sleeping in a reclined position both arms supported by pillows for at least part of the night. Couldn’t do c curl with him until he was basically grown out of the bassinet, but then switched to that. My second doesn’t really c curl well either & I’m not even trying the bassinet for bedtime this time around. Blankets away from her, her on my chest/arm w/ pillows under both arms & I’m slightly sitting up. If she lets me put her by me and c curl then I do, but it’s slow progress.

I sleep with the baby in my arms I have my bed against the wall and a bunch of blankets and pregnancy pillow stacked there and sleep sitting up now he's starting to sleep in the bassinet I put a shirt I would wear during the day in it for my second baby and he slept alone a lot
