Hi
My 5 week old usually settles quite well to sleep in her moses basket in the day after feeds (she clearly hasn't read the books which say she should be doing some sort of 'activity' after feeding or should be put to sleep awake as she just zonks out after she's been fed); however in the evenings she appears to zonk out as usual but has now started to wake up and cry about 10 minutes after I put her down.
Again, I have read a couple of books which advocate leaving her for up to 10 minutes to see if she settles. I'm not sure this is the right way to go but the shush/pat thing doesn't seem to work for her and she hates being swaddled, if I pick her up she might stop crying but will cry as soon as I put her in her basket so I am fresh out of ideas for getting her to settle.
As I say she usually settles well most of the time including after feeds in the night and settled well this evening.
All thoughts appreciated.
