My 8-week-old is the sweetest when I'm holding him, but the second I put him down in his bassinet or bouncer, he starts crying. Is this normal? I can't get anything done!
It's called 'sleeping like a baby' for a reason! 😉 Definitely check with your doctor, but ours said the same thing. If they're healthy and growing, let them sleep. It's a blessing!

This phase is so tough. You're not alone.
Have you tried gripe water or gas drops? They were a lifesaver for us. Also, look into paced bottle feeding techniques, it can help them swallow less air.
My pediatrician said to let them sleep! As long as they are gaining weight properly and have enough wet/dirty diapers, you don't need to wake a sleeping baby. Enjoy the rest!

Even a few minutes at a time adds up! We used a special tummy time mat with lots of textures and a mirror. That helped distract him.
