So I have slept with my baby in my arms every night. She is now almost 3 months and turning into a wild sleeper. I would like to transition her into the bassinet and I’m looking for suggestions on the easiest way to do that. Thanks!

3 months she might be too big for bassinet. At least my boy outgrew his at 2 months. We got him in the crib by making sure he was sleepy when putting him down. Also white noise helps.

Good luck getting her to sleep not in your arms lol like others have said I would go straight into a crib or pack n play is what we used with our last baby due to lack of space when she was born.

Slowly transition to sleeping next to her with your arm still curled around. Then start putting her to sleep but moving away. Little by little they will adjust. I have spent a few dozen nights sleeping inside a crib

Start with day sleeps in her own crib (she will be too big for a bassinet)
Good luck. When I slept with my oldest in my arms when he was a baby. It was hell getting him into his own bed.
Only time I sleep with my youngest is when I doze off while nursing him

Just do it…it may be difficult since she’s used to being held. A swaddle might be beneficial.

Just put her in a crib. 3 months is a little old for a bassinet.
I will never understand why mothers attack each other, we’re all just tired and trying to make sure our kids don’t die. You would think we could help each other without judgment considering we’re all peed on snack bitches.
Wow. Good luck with that now lol

I’ve slept with my baby since she was about 4 months old … she used to sleep on her own … but after I started sleeping with her. She hates her crib… I tried and tried having her sleep by her self and she just doesn’t want to. She’s now almost a year. And she’s still with me 
. So following

She’ll be pulling out of a bassinet by the time you get her transitioned. Time for a crib or a pack n play in your room.
I did the same thing with my second. I breastfed her in bed. I had us both propped up and I would wake up with her still in my arms boob hanging out. I had to move her to the pack n play after she started getting squirmy lol it takes a little work but they will adjust.
Swaddled her and put her in her bed. At that young of age it will a tough couple of days but break the habit of sleeping with you before the habit breaks you.

I co slept with my little guy and just put him in his bassinet one day and since then he has been sleeping by himself.
I had a tough delivery with my first that turned into a c section after 38 hours. I couldn’t get my baby out of her bed so I slept in a recliner with her on my chest for 4 months…she slept with my husband and I until she was 3…

Have her nap in it, and then you just start putting her in at night, and grin and bear it. She will adjust.
You will have to just put her in the crib. She will adjust.
I always Co parented. Get a bigger bed
When they were ready they went into their own bed you’re doing the best thing
My son always slept in his boppy in my bed (had a king) until he was about 4/5 months. So maybe try that n see if it works. It worked really well with my son
Oops! Live & learn…Good luck! I put so much energy into the kiddos that when it came time to sleep, we all had our own beds. Everyone is different but for this mama, that was my own and many times only, personal private comfortable space.

She is to big for a bassinet put her in a crib which is safeer
Bassinets don’t last long. Literally for only 3 or 4 months. So your only option is a crib.
I suggest swaddling hwr waiting till she is asleep then putting her down and maybe a nest to give her extra security. Good luck xxxx
