@theparentalbrief: Every new parent knows this exact moment: baby finally asleep in your arms… you lower them into the bassinet… eyes pop open. Dr. Mona's bassinet-transfer playbook: for babies under about 3–4 months, transfer during deep sleep — wait for heavy arms, slower breathing and that melty body. Older babies can go down drowsy instead: relaxed body, heavy eyelids, slow blinks. Either way, move slowly, keep your body close, shush and pat as you lower them, then help them settle once they're flat. And watch the timing — an overtired baby fights the bassinet because stress hormones are high, and an undertired one fights it because they simply aren't ready to sleep. 🎥: @Dr. Mona Follow @theparentalbrief for one sharp parenting brief a day. #newbornsleep #babysleep #bassinet #newborn #newparents And on the post-birth batch: shortlist is set and the downloads are running — @jimmyeverydayy's "No one tells you this about newborns" (360K likes), @emilyvondy's guide to visiting a postpartum mom (82K), a nurse-midwife on decisions right after birth (35K), @pedsdoctalk on early-weeks breastfeeding (26K), and a dad on setting boundaries with family (20K). One catch worth knowing: the 170K Jimmy clip turned out to be the same video as the 360K one, so it's in once, not twice.
