11 wk old sleeping in pram - advice please

My 11 wk old DD is very snuffly and always seems 2 b that much worse when flat on her back.

Do you think it'd be ok for her to sleep in her pram tonight? Not the actual carry cot but the other seat that she would ordinarily go into at around 5/6 months??

I believe you can tilt the position of it so she wouldn't be vertical but maybe more 90 degrees?!

I don't think the odd night would cause any problem, but I never liked them sleeping in the buggy seat until they were a lot older - i just used to prop the mattress up by putting a rolled up towel or blanket under the mattress or when it was the carry cot, I just put a couple of books under the feet of the head end.

hope they feel better soon.

She should not sleep in a pushchair seat designed for an older baby. It is similar to sleeping in a car seat and could adversely affect her breathing. Raise the end of her cot or basket as soontobeslendergirl says.

Do babies really fit in prams to 5 months? Ds was in his at 11 weeks I think.
I would go for the rolled up towels under the mattress or books under the cot.
