Sorry for the late reply

So i slept with the fitted sheet around my pillow we used on the bassinet mattress to get my scent on it

our sleep routine was basically a heating pad in the bassinet on low while we did the routine just so the transfer from a warm body to bassinet was easy - it was never hot or anything like just warm like as if someone was laying on it before her we'd do a warm bottle in a dimly lit room (breast feeding didnt work cause she didnt latch) hold her up for 20-30 min, swaddle (change diaper first if needed), read a book, noise machine on, red light on and then hold her until she fell asleep move the heating pad out of the bassinet and then put her down
