So I brought my little girl home yesterday. She's pretty small, only 6 lbs 12 oz.. And I just dknt know where to put her when she sleeps. She crumples up in her bouncer. And in her crib, i dunno how to place her or put her blankets?? I know on her back but like shes not spose to have a blanket in there?? I have horrible anxiety..i dont want her to suffocate. & then when I do put her down she wakes up

  • Swaddle her in her blanket and lay her on her back. Get on you tube to learn how to swaddle correctly

    My son does the same thing. He wants to sleep beside us at night. Right now we let him if he wakes up for several hours. I am trying to help him get used to his bassinet during the day (when I'm awake) try to lay her down where you want her to sleep everytime she's sleepy but if she wants to be held at a certain time to fall asleep its ok. She will be fine.
  • They have a swaddle blanket at wallmart its easy to use if using a normal blanket is to hard
  • Blankets are fine just ensure they are well tucked in and dont come up past her chest..and if you put her feet to the bottom of the crib she cant wriggle down
  • The first few weeks my son slept in his swing or carseat. The nurse said its bc tjey feel like theyre being held still. He now sleeps in his crib and loves it.
  • When my baby gets here ill be using one of these as i feel uneasy about a blankie, thats just me though, they are very. Usefull, especially when changing there nappy when there sleeping
