Hi everyone,
Our first baby arrived last week and has been a good sleeper so far.... when she sleeps on me or my husband!
As new parents were a bit clueless as to how to transition her into a cot so we don't have to worry about her sleeping in our bed so would appreciate advice from people who've had the same problem.
Unfortunately she protests when we try to set her down in a next to me cot or a sleepyhead in the cot. She has slept in the sleepyhead a few times in the day but after a few minutes in it at night (after settling on one of us) cries until we pick her up.
I did try swaddling one night which she didn't like. Also tried a hot water bottle to heat the sleepyhead before putting her in last night which didn't help. We usually dress her in a Love to dream Swaddle Up at night which she seems happier in than swaddled.
Any tips? We're not really sure what to do!
Thank you in advance
