She sleeps like a rock when she is on me (up to 6 hours a night) - but when placed in her bassinet I am lucky to get 5 minutes before she starts crying. While I enjoy sleeping with her, I am concerned about her safety and also do not want to form a bad habit. What advice can you offer?

I have a 3 week old who refuses to sleep without me. Currently she sleeps on my chest and am wondering if you started with your son on your chest or if he was always able to sleep in a bassinet on your bed. Where did youpurchase the bassinet? Any advice? Thanks. Hi Daria,

Our 14 month old daughter gets placed in her crib around 9:30pm, then wakes up at 12:30pm. We've tried the "letting her cry it out" routine, etc. We let her sleep on us in her room, either while we're on the floor, in a chair, etc. But, she tosses and turns A LOT during much of the night. She'll wake up a couple of times during the night and then she's up for the day by 7am. She might nap for 1.5-2 hours at most. You're not alone in this. If you find any solution, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share it, as we're pulling our hair out, too! Andria – my wife and I are having the same problem.
