Help!
My baby is 8 weeks old, we tend to do a 'dream feed' about 10.30pm, he then goes down (whilst sleeping) in his Moses basket till around 2/3am. We already pre warm it with a hot water bottle.
Once he wakes at 2/3am, he has his nappy changed, fed.... Should go back in his Moses basket. He doesn't!! He falls asleep on us and every time we try and put him down he wakes up! The only way to get him to sleep is on us. I hate it and i. So worried about him suffocating. It's making us both really anxious.
He is also very close to growing out his Moses basket, I have no room for a cot in the bedroom so he might have to transition in to his cot soon, was hoping for a bit longer on this.
We try everything we can think of to get him to sleep on his own after that feed. Naps during the day are normally on us also.
