6 weeks baby

Hi
My son is 6 weeks now. And sleeps though day with 30 mons awake. He does-not mind the place (Moses basket, bouncer, sofa etc)

At night he sleeps in lap or on hubby's tummy. As soon as i put him in moses basket. He wakes up 😒
Yesterday I tried to put him to his bed on his side rather then on his back. He seemed content and slept straight away. As i know babies should only sleep on their back so I gently turned him on back and guess what he woke up 🙄
I donot know what to do. M really struggling with his night sleep. Tried making routine as well (massage , bath time, feed and bed) but so far nothing seems to work

Any one is in same boat. Any suggestions please

I’ve found a hot water bottle in the cot just before hand really helps our little one settle. We put it in while we giver her a bath and take it out just before we put her down.

Not sure if it will help with the sleeping on the back problem, but it worked for us :)

My DD has been turning herself onto her side since she was born! There's nothing I can do about it as I can't watch her all night and keep putting her back on her back..
