5 week old and sudden refusal to sleep in moses.

So gave birth to dc2 (dd) 5 weeks ago. She is bf (which is a whole new world as dc1 just wouldn't take to it. ) with the odd bottle. For the first couple of weeks she slept consistently in her moses upstairs or carry cot just fine. At night she'd go down at around 10, wake around 2 and 5 for feeds and change. However the last week or so she will literally refuse to sleep anywhere but on my or DH. If I put her down she will literally wake crying within 5 minutes. Even in the day she won't go in her chair (swinging or vibrating) Cosleeping isn't an option. She also despises the pram and car seat, has done since birth. So any tips for one very drained mumma!! I love the cuddles but miss being able to even pee without her getting upset.

We had this to a lesser extent at the same time and the baby book had it down as a developmental leap.

We persisted in putting him down with the shhh pat method and pick up put down with some holding to sleep and it did pass. He's now back to a regular sleeping pattern in either the pram or crib
