Baby seems to not like their crib
Sleep baby on their back right from the start
Place baby in the crib before they are completely asleep to avoid a startle reflex, then rub the baby’s tummy to soothe them
I want to bond with my baby
Other safe bonding times include feeding, wearing baby carrier, playing during tummy time, rubbing their tummy while they are in the crib

What if…
It’s easier to take care of baby if he is sleeping with me
There is no space for a crib in my bedroom
Rearrange the room, remove other furniture, or use a smaller alternative option
