is it safe for a newborn to sleep on top of one of my pillows with a blanket on on side so he cant go off there and me on the other side?

I don't think that's very safe.  A crib is usually the best bet.

In bed with you? No! No, no, no. So many newborns are smothered and crushed in bed with their parents. Don't take the chance and put him/her in his crib.

No, they should be in a crib without a blanket or a pillow.

I am definitely going with a no. co-sleeping CAN be dangerous, but if you feel the need, lay him on the bed, not a pillow. Set the pillow on one side, and you're on the other. Having him on the pillow gives him the possibility of falling off, where he can't go anywhere if he's just on the bed. Please be careful, I've read SO many stores and seen on the news- moms sleeping with their babies and they end up laying on them or whatever.... him sleeping in a crib is much much safer.

Plus, if you let him get used to sleeping in your bed, he's going to have trouble sleeping in his crib when he's older, especially between 3-5 months.

No, it's not safe. If he won't go to sleep in a crib/bassinet, you might have to hold him/rock him until he falls asleep. Then put him in his crib.

Then you're just going to have to make him. Don't get him used to sleeping with you. He's 6 days old, he'll learn to sleep in his bassinet. Just do NOT let him sleep in bed with you. I've heard of hundreds of mothers smothering their children.

When my son was born, he cried two nights in a roll because he didn't want to sleep in his crib, so I'd sit next to him and put my hand on his chest and he'd fall asleep. Sit next to him and comfort him and let him know you're there, just do NOT let him sleep in bed with you. I'm not even kidding.

Also, don't put anything in the bassinet. Swaddle him in a blanket and that's it.

you should buy a crib for it new Born's should not have any pillows and blankets and suffocate them and you could accidentally roll over on him
