I've been really trying with DD2 (6 weeks) to get her to settle at night in her moses basket. I've tried white noise, rocking (the basket has one of those rocking stands), propping the mattress up slightly (I think she gets a bit colicky and I've been told lying flat can make this worse), and transferring her in a blanket (so she doesn't feel the temperature change as obviously when I move her off me and into her basket). It's not working - she's awake within 5 minutes wanting to be held again. I've ended up co-sleeping a lot just because I physically need some sleep (having a 2 year old to run around after in the daytime mean sleeping when DD2 does in the day isn't possible) but would like her to sleep in her basket really as I know it's safer, but I feel like I've tried everything! Any advice?

So how on earth do you get a young baby to sleep in a moses basket?
