When he woke up hungry for his first feeding, my husband would get him and bring him to me and I'd nurse him and then put him down in his bassinet. It definitely worked for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-night-sleep-in-swing#post-2782904 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 08:22:03 +0000 krispi 2782904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did this consistently with our daughter until she outgrew the swing, then we graduated to rocking and singing to sleep. Some people say they should get used to falling asleep on their own instead, but my view is do whatever works to get some sleep! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-night-sleep-in-swing#post-2782895 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 07:59:12 +0000 Revel 2782895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 10 week old naps great in the swing during the day. Night sleep is a crapshoot, often just getting him to sleep in the first place takes several hours and he wakes often. I know this is generally normal for this age, but curious if anyone has had any luck starting baby in the swing to fall asleep and then transferring to crib/bassinet after 30 mins or so? </p> <p>I don't want to leave him all night in the swing, but I'm wondering if getting him to fall asleep earlier when he's first tired would get him better night sleep. </p>
