Does your newborn fall asleep perfectly in your arms but wake up the SECOND you put them down in their bassinet or crib? If your baby only sleeps when held, wakes during every bassinet transfer, or refuses to stay asleep once you put them down, this video will show you a gentle newborn sleep technique you can try starting with your next nap. We're breaking down why newborns wake up when transferred from your arms to the bassinet, how the Moro reflex (startle reflex) can interrupt sleep, and why timing your transfer can make a difference. You'll learn how to recognize signs that your newborn is more deeply asleep, including relaxed movements, calmer facial expressions, and less active sucking, so you can identify a better time to attempt the transfer. I'll also demonstrate step by step how to transfer a sleeping newborn into the bassinet while maintaining physical contact, supporting their head and body, and gradually removing your hands to avoid startling them awake. We'll cover what to do if your baby starts stirring, opens their eyes, or cries during the transfer, including gentle shushing, reassuring touch, and when to pick them up and try again. You'll also learn common bassinet transfer mistakes to avoid and why hunger, discomfort, and sleep timing can sometimes be the real reasons your newborn won't stay asleep. Whether your 2-week-old, 4-week-old, or 8-week-old baby wakes every time you put them down, these practical newborn sleep tips can help you troubleshoot bassinet struggles, make transfers less disruptive, and encourage more comfortable sleep in a safe crib or bassinet.
