baby won’t sleep in bassinet

my 12 day old baby will NOT sleep anywhere but right by me. we don’t have to be touching but by the time i wake up she has wormed her way over to be touching me. i hate it. having her in the bed stresses me out but idk what else to do. as soon as i lay her in the bassinet she starts crying. & if i manage to get her laid down without her crying it takes no more than 30 mins before she’s crying. how do i get her to sleep in her bassinet?

i didn’t expect to pump and now i just have questions

so i’m 6 days pp and yesterday she stopped latching completely. i think she wasn’t getting enough on the boob so i decided pumping is my best option.
i’m getting 2 oz every pump so far but is that going to increase since im emptying every pump?
when she starts needing more what do i do? power pump?
and the pitcher method — my understanding was you put the cold in one and then dump it into the other when it gets cold but how do you know what to freeze? do i need another jar so im not mixing the days?
do you put vitamin D in one bottle?

any recommendations suggestions or advice for my new journey would be lovely! i really wanted to ebf but not everything goes as planned and im still blessed to be able to pump and don’t want to mess it up!

confused by cues

by baby is 3 days and when she wakes up she bobs her head with her mouth open and that’s how i know she wants to eat but everyone says her sucking on her hands is also a cue and she’ll do that after she ate… i feel like she should be eating longer but she’ll fall asleep on the boob sometimes she won’t and she’s fussy but once she unlatches she doesn’t latch again.. should i be worried or trust that she’s getting enough? she has no problems latching when she wants to

at my 36 week appointment i had my growth scan & during the growth scan my baby failed breathing movements so i had to do a NST & they said everything seemed to be okay the doctor told me me to pay attention to movements which has been kind of inconsistent for me so she said if i notice a long period of time of no movement to sit down with my feet up and do a kick count if i don’t get 10 kicks in an hour to go to the hospital and that happened and i told my bf i think i need to go to the hospital & i just had a bad gut feeling which i’ve never had this whole pregnancy & he told me as long as im not bleeding everything is okay but if i wanted to go i should go … so i go and when they’re hooking me up to monitor her heartbeat it took them almost 5 minutes to find it (which has never happened) & of course i’m internally freaking out & going thru this without him … everything was fine & they said i was starting to have contractions but they were pretty far apart & not getting closer so i was able to go home but now i can’t move past the fact i felt like something was wrong and he didn’t care enough to go with me to the hospital maybe im overreacting but i just feel like he doesn’t care about the baby now?? he has a son from a previous relationship and we had him this weekend and i just kept crying bc it hurt so bad to see how much he cares and loves his son but when i thought something was wrong with our daughter he didn’t care. i can’t even speak to him because i am SO hurt

edit: it was 6pm and i didn’t feel her move all day.
