Baby sleeping pushed up against the side of her bassinet
My 9 week old is stressing me out!!
Whenever I lay her down to sleep she automatically rolls onto her side. She has been doing this for a couple of weeks now and I was advised that it’s okay if she’s putting herself there, just always put her down on her back (which I do).
But for the last few nights she has been waking and fussing for her feed and when I look in her bassinet she has manoeuvred herself all the way to the side with her face pushed against it because she’s on her side. It is mesh so I suppose it’s breathable? But it’s still stressful. She likes to bury her head into the crook of my arm or my neck as much as possible when I’m holding her for a sleep too so it seems like it might be a comfort thing, but it worries me n the night when I can’t see her and hear if she’s okay if I’m asleep.
Does anyone have any advice? Is there anything I can do?
