Hi All,
I have a 4 week old DD1 and am having trouble getting her to sleep by herself; she has actually NEVER slept anywhere other than on myself or DH (or in the carseat and sling)... DH and I have been sleeping in shifts, but he will be going back to work in a week and we are starting to panic....she doesn't like her moses basket and doesn't really like to co-sleep with me (she has managed 30 mins at most before waking herself up). She flings her arms and legs about so much that she wakes herself up.... and hates to be swaddled.
I feel a bit like we have made a mistake by allowing the situation to get this far, but she loves to be cuddled and sleeps really well (4 hour stretches at night).
Is this normal or should she have had some stretches of sleep by herself by now?
