DS3 is wonderful, feeding brilliantly and absolutely gorgeous. BUT, and this is the big one, he'll either sleep happily in my arms and wake quite frequently for feeds OR if DH takes him he'll sleep for up to 2hrs (or even more) in his arms - so he's obviously now getting decent enough feeds to actually rest between them.
HOWEVER, despite our best efforts we can't put him down in his carry cot to sleep - doesn't matter whether I try or DH tries he wakes up and screams (or lies there and screams if he's not already asleep).
This arrangement of 'shifts' holding the baby will be fine for a week until DH goes back to work.........but having got the other DS's to look after I really need ideas on how to get him to settle in his carrycot - even if it's only during the day (I've been co-sleeping at night with him so far and can live with that but the daytimes are a biggie).
