From Contact Naps to Bassinet Sleep
$20$27
Your baby only naps on you. You're exhausted. And every time you try the bassinet, their eyes pop open.
You're not doing anything wrong. Contact naps are normal in the early weeks, and a baby who wants to be held isn't a bad habit you created. But you also need your arms back sometimes.
From Contact Naps to Bassinet Sleep is a gentle, week-by-week guide to moving your baby from your arms to the bassinet, without cry-it-out.
Inside the guide:
A simple 4-step transfer to help your baby stay asleep as you lay them down
Week-by-week chapters for weeks 1–12, so you know what's normal right now and what to try
Wake windows for every week, so naps start at the right time
Sample days that show how a day can flow at each stage
Troubleshooting for the hard days: short naps, instant wake-ups, growth spurts, the witching hour, and more
Help for sick days, vaccines, and travel
Printables: a wake window chart, sleepy cues guide, transfer cheat sheet, sleep and feed log, and wind-down checklist
This guide is for you if:
Your baby is 0–12 weeks old
They only nap on you, or wake the second they touch the bassinet
You want a gentle approach that works with your baby, not against them
Already at 8 or 10 weeks? It's not too late. Every week's chapter stands on its own, so you can jump straight to your baby's week.
