DD (11 weeks) is bursting out of her Moses basket & keeps waking herself battering her arms off the side. We've managed to cram her cot in our room but, unlike DS who took to it straight away wearing a growbag, she wont settle in it for more than half an hour.
So ar I have tried putting the Moses in the cot for her to get used to it & putting her in the cot for daytime naps (which has the same problem of her waking after 5/10/15/30 mins).I think it's just not cosey enough for her. In her Moses I swaddle her from the chest down in a blanket (keeping her arms out as she likes them at her ears) & then she gets another cellular blanket tucked over her.
Someone suggested putting a pillow either side of her, under her sheet but I didn't like the sound of that as was worried she'd somehow suffocate . I would appreciate any tips or experiences on how to make the transition. Thanks in advance.
