DS is 2 weeks old today, and has yet to settle in his moses basket/cot. if he falls asleep on me, aand is left for a while before being moved to his cot, he'll sleep for perhaps an hour in the basket.
i'm not desperately concerned by the length of the sleeps (usually 2 hours from start of feed to start of feed, with one stretch of 3-4 hours in each 24 hour period), but i am basically not sleeping, as i am essenttially feeding him to sleep.
i'm not prepared to co-sleep, as i am a v heavy sleeper when i do sleep, and this doesn't solve the daytime naps issue (sling also not a favoured option, as i think he'll then be even more horrified at leaving me at night).
we've tried settling him in his moses today, going to him every time he cries for more than a minute, and he has yet to be quiet for more than 5 mins together, and hasn't dropped off yet (except when allowed to feed, when i'm fighting to keep him awake).
i know many will think me horrifically cruel, feel free to post as well, all opinions welcome! I can take it!
If anyone's got any tips we can try, I'd be eternally grateful, as DS is getting ever more over tired, and I am swiftly losing the plot at night...
