My son will be 3 months old in 2 days. There are two things that have made things so much easier for my wife and I. First, a Fisher-Price Rock and Play Sleeper[0]. We never got a bassinet and we were going to borrow one from a family member but they ended up starting to use it. We had a pack & play type thing that had a bassinet that was ok for sleeping. It worked for a bit but he ended up not sleeping well in it. There was no stability and any movement he would make would wake him up as the bassinet would move. My wife and I were frustrated and looked for other options and that's when we found the Rock & Play. You can connect to it through your smartphone and control what it does (rocking, music, light show, vibration) easily. I have a setting that turns everything on and puts it on a timer. It is amazing since I can do that from the bed (he sleeps in our room for the time being) and it will soothe him to sleep (if needed, we don't turn on any of the features if he falls right to sleep). The other thing that I recommend is a swaddle. You can swaddle your baby in a blanket and that is what I learned when my wife and I took a class on caring for a baby. It was super easy to do, however, that is because we were practicing on a doll. When we got home it was a bit more complicated as my son would be squirming which made getting a good, tight swaddle hard. We ended up getting a SwaddleMe brand swaddle. It makes it super easy to swaddle him tightly and quickly. With the swaddle and rock & play he has been sleeping through the night since 6 weeks.
