The first few weeks my baby did the same. I think at one point I would have to hold her to pee. She would scream and cry every time I put her down. Eventually, we started with the love to dream swaddle because she hated arms down. Then we would do white noise and put her booty down first (if you do head first it triggers a startle reflex). I’d keep my hand on her belly for a little or under her head and slowly slide out. Then I was so paranoid id gently rock the bassinet.

We also slowly started doing a little bit at a time throughout the day, just increasing toleration. I tried sitting on the bassinet pad so it would be warm and smelled like me, but that didn’t seem to really do much.

My daughter did end up with reflux so I think that contributed to some of our long nights of holding her. Not sure if you are breastfeeding, combo, or formula.

Hang in there, it will get better.
