1. Swaddle Your Baby
Swaddling is an excellent way to make your baby feel secure and comfortable in the bassinet. Wrap your little one snugly in a soft blanket so their arms and legs are tucked in firmly. Swaddling helps to calm your baby’s startle reflex so they will stay asleep longer.
2. Keep The Bassinet Close To You
Newborns tend to feel safe when they are close to their parents or caregivers. Therefore, placing the bassinet next to your bed or within arm’s reach can make them feel more secure and calm.
3. Establish A Bedtime Routine
Creating a consistent bedtime routine for your baby can help train their body clock and signal when it’s time for them to sleep. Start with activities such as giving them a warm bath or gentle massage before putting them in the swaddle and laying them down in the bassinet.
4. Play Soothing Sounds
Playing calming sounds such as white noise or lullabies help create an atmosphere conducive for sleep. You can try using sound machines or apps specifically designed for babies which replicate soothing sounds from nature like ocean waves or rainfall.
5. Use A Pacifier
Pacifiers not only soothe babies but also reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Once you’ve established breastfeeding, offer the pacifier as needed during naptime or bedtime.
6. Ensure Comfortable Temperature
Newborns are sensitive to temperature changes, so it’s essential to ensure that the room temperature is comfortable for your baby. The ideal temperature for a baby’s room should be between 68 and 72°F.
In conclusion, getting your baby to sleep in a bassinet requires patience and consistency. Following these tips will significantly increase the chances of your little one falling asleep comfortably and peacefully. Remember, every baby is unique, so it’s crucial to experiment with different methods until you find what works best for your baby.

Description : Everything you need to know about getting your baby or toddler to sleep -- from America's foremost baby and childcare experts. Babies don't automatically know how to sleep through the night; they need to be taught. The Sears family has learned from decades of pediatric practice, bolstered by their own parenting experiences, that different babies have different nighttime temperaments -- and, of course, different families have different lifestyles. Instead of espousing the kind of "one method fits all" approach advocated in other baby sleep guides, the Sears family explains how you can create a sleep plan that suits the needs of your entire family. With a sharp focus on the practical tools and techniques, The Baby Sleep Book covers such topics as: The facts of infant sleep vs. adult sleep Figuring out where, when, and how your child sleeps best Fail-safe methods for soothing a crying infant How to make night nursing easier, and how to stop Nighttime fathering tips Whether co-sleeping makes sense for you Nap-time strategies that work Medical and physical causes of night waking Sleep habits in special situations such as traveling, teething, and illness...
