It’s a fine art I clearly haven’t mastered.
Has anyone cracked the code? Any tips?!
My 4mo bounces awake as soon as she feels her mattress - only for night sleeps, she seems to tolerate her cot during the day…
Ive tried
waiting 5-20mins after she falls asleep before transfer to cot
hot water bottle to warm up mattress (cant in this heat though)
hold baby’s arms in to stop startle response
hold baby close to body whilst lowering
keep hand on head after lowering
attempt to soothe in cot when stirs (doesn’t work)
I’m about to do my sixth lowering attempt tonight 😬
