He might just be wanting to sleep next to his mama. I think you just have to keep trying different things. Some of the moms here just ended up co-sleeping because it was easier for everyone. Have you tried having him sleep on the swing? I hear that works well for a lot of babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-rejecting-bassinet#post-128782 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:00:10 +0000 Navy_Mommy 128782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I tried full swaddle, swaddled with his arms free, and no swaddle at all...no luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-rejecting-bassinet#post-128780 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:58:54 +0000 banana 128780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@navy_mommy: Oh I tried. For like 3 weeks straight! He just didn't like it. Then I tried the pack 'n play and he hated that too. He loved sleeping on the swing but it didn't seem very good for his back. I know what you mean about the possibility of having him reject the co-sleeper. Do you have any mommy friends that can loan you one? The only other thing that worked for me was using the Nap Nanny. He loved sleeping on that.</p> <p>Are you swaddling him? Maybe try swaddling or unswaddling and see if that helps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-rejecting-bassinet#post-128778 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:54:53 +0000 Navy_Mommy 128778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I don't want to buy a co-sleeper and have him just reject that, too, know what I mean? Did you continue to try and put your LO in the bassinet or did you just give up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-rejecting-bassinet#post-128771 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:47:37 +0000 banana 128771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds exactly like what happened to me. My LO hated his bassinet all of a sudden so we had a few nights sleeping on our bed, which led to every night. We ended up co-sleeping for 2 months until I trained him to sleep in his crib. How about using a co-sleeper? That's what I plan on doing with my 2nd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-rejecting-bassinet#post-128766 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:42:59 +0000 Navy_Mommy 128766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, NavyBaby is 17 days old and for the first two weeks he was doing great at night sleeping in his bassinet (right next to me). There were probably 2 or 3 occasions where he wouldn't sleep so I just pulled him into bed with me, but that would only be for a few hours in between two feedings (you can't spoil a newborn, right?) But two nights ago he started REFUSING to sleep in his bassinet. Whether he's asleep when I put him down or not, the second he's in his bassinet he starts fussing (squirming and grunting). If I don't pick him up soon he starts crying, and then in order to get him back to sleep again I have to start nursing him. If I go to put him down again the fussing starts again.</p> <p>Two nights ago we didn't get any sleep, it was just that process over and over again, last night it started again so I just nursed him to sleep and brought him into bed with me because I couldn't go through that all night again.</p> <p>Did anyone else go through this? I really don't want him to get in the habit of sleeping in our bed all night every night, but I also have to sleep myself!</p> <p>Any advice would be MUCH appreciated! </p>
