As someone with a newborn, thank you for sharing this!

I've heard a lot of good things about the https://www.happiestbaby.com/products/snoo-smart-bassinet.

It's expensive but my first child slept terribly; I'm not taking chances with my second.

we bought one of these and returned it - it was not magical enough for our child, apparently.

"Even if the baby is asleep, they notice when they have been separated from their caregiver"

It seems they're born with proximity sensor. They'll start crying again once you're moving a feet away.

"most effective way to put a baby to sleep was to carry them and walk around for five minutes, sit and wait for five to eight minutes, then put them to bed"

This advice doesn't mention crying, does it mean we have to make it stop crying first?

Isn't the walking around with the baby the thing that makes it stop crying though?

> By sitting down to rest after the baby stops crying, they can apparently be put into a deep sleep.

It seems stopping crying is a precondition for the "sit and wait" step.

I've found a little trick when my newborn cries or gets unsettled while sleeping.. whenever she makes a noise I just go over and pat her. it moves the gases around and she's settled instantly.

in order to put her asleep I usually just wheel her back and forwards in the pram, taking her over the edge of the rug (for the bump) usually stops her from crying.

When she was really little, I used to have to walk to get her asleep, or do squats while holding her to stop her from crying.

Most of the time, from all of my experiences and from what everyone's told me, they cry for only a few reasons: gas, love, hungry, nappy.
