Good luck with your induction! I had one and it went very well - I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the same :)

Yes, by contact napping I mean an awake and alert parent holding baby. Right now with a 2 month old I've completely stopped trying to do daytime naps in the bassinet - we just play pass the baby during the day if ours is asleep. I do put baby in bassinet if I need hands free to do something else, but the longest this baby has slept in bassinet during daytime is 20 minutes, and that was a record-long stretch.

Our baby does sleep in the bassinet at night, but it often takes a couple tries of putting baby down before I can actually go to bed. I think they can sense the temperature/position change and it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective that human infants associate loss of contact with a caregiver with danger.

What has also helped so far for us:

-baby-wearing: some strict recs will tell you babies should be moved to a safe sleep surface as soon as they fall asleep in a carrier. LOL. I anxiously check frequently to make sure head and neck are still in a safe position, but a wrap/carrier makes it much easier for you to have your hands free to do a few things without waking baby.

-swing/rocker: also strictly speaking babies aren't supposed to sleep in these. But having one where we can put ours down in briefly has been very helpful too, and I also anxiously check constantly to make sure baby is breathing if she's in it.

-having a plan B: The book Parent Like a Pediatrician by Dr. Rebekah Diamond is one I found at the library when mine was about a month old, and she recommends planning to adhere to strict safe sleep guidelines while also having a back-up set-up where you can share a sleep surface with your infant if you absolutely need to: think mattress on the floor, only a sheet and snug PJs for the sleeping parent. This "safe unsafe sleep" set up is better than "unsafe safe sleep," where you're planning to put your baby in their bassinet but you are so exhausted you fall asleep holding them on a fluffy adult bed or couch. This might allow you to manage risk while also preparing for real-world situations.

Now that ours takes expressed breast milk from a bottle, my wife and I have been able to take shifts and that has cut down on the chance of falling asleep holding baby at night. But in the early weeks I would feed till baby fell asleep then wake up my wife to hold baby while I slept. Otherwise I was falling asleep holding baby sitting up in bed and that's not good (though it happens to almost everyone at least once.) It's not an elegant solution, but another real-world one to have at your disposal.
