So in the last 2-3 weeks my 2 month old has started hating being put down for naps in his moses basket.
I started noticing it as he became more awake in the daytime. Previously when he was a tiny newborn baby he would sleep in his moses basket during the day absolutely fine and get plenty of naps in.
He has always been a really good sleeper at night, going 6 hours from 3 weeks and now sleeps 8-9 hours in his moses basket in our room. But I'm conscious that towards the end of the day now where he hasn't napped properly due to refusing to be put down in his basket, he gets so overtired, rubbing his eyes all the time and gets really grizzly.
He will happily sleep on me after a feed or will drift off when in his bouncer or swing but when I go to transfer him to the basket because it's safer for him to nap in, he sleeps for only another 10 mins and then wakes crying.
I feel like I've tried most things, such as creating a more nap like environment and routine with making it dark and white noise, etc, removing all distraction and putting him straight into his basket whilst drowsy but it's not working. He cried (screamed!) for 20 minutes straight yesterday - I thought he might have a cry and then tire himself out and sleep anyway, but nope. And as soon as I picked him up and sat him in my arm he went to sleep!
Is it just a case of persistence and he will get used to it, or is there anything anyone would recommend trying? Just want to make sure he's getting enough sleep and in a safe environment!
