Hi all. My beautiful baby daughter is almost seven weeks old. During her first few weeks she was happy to sleep for up to 3 hours in a stretch in her bassinett after being cuddled to sleep. However, in the last two weeks she wakes up as soon as I put her down and will not have a bar of it. The only place she wants to sleep in on my chest - with her belly against my chest. Wrapping/swaddling doesn't seem to work for her - just results in a lot of grunting as she tries to get out of the wrap (usually successful). I have a gro-bag but even that is not working.

My gut instinct is to just let her sleep with us - but am worried about safety of doing this, so would love some suggestions/advice. If anyone does co-sleep can you let me know what you do to make it as safe as possible.

Not getting much support from my own family - my mother told me I need to start being a 'mother' - and let her cry for a while - wtf?
