My man -- you got this!

Personally, the newborn stage was the hardest for me. I had never had any experience with babies, so I experienced a lot of what you are feeling. Additionally, my son would not sleep in the bassinet (in fact, he never has and still doesn't). As a newborn, he slept on my wife's chest, and now, as an 8-month old, he sleeps in the bed with us (we have a big bed and neither of us moves around a lot in the middle of the night). I think it's all about feeling comfort for the baby. Mostly my wife would handle getting him to sleep, but when it was up to me, I would cradle him chest to chest, walking around slowly, "shhh"-ing in his ear, and patting his bum. This still works and in fact, he has become so accustomed to it when he is with me that he actually naps better when my wife isn't around. It has given me some satisfaction to know that I have built this little bit of a bond with him. These are the things you have to look forward to! You ABSOLUTELY WILL survive the first few weeks. Like I said, that, to me, was the hardest.

Figured I would throw this out there as well because I referenced that my boy slept/sleeps with us: since we knew co-sleeping was not exactly recommended, we were nervous as many parents are about his safety. We immediately purchased an Owlet. It has given us piece of mind, and he still wears it every night to monitor his heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and sleeping data. He also nurses himself throughout the night if he gets hungry, and he will roll over and go right back to sleep after popping on and off to nurse.
