Not settling in Moses basket

[lavalamp08]

Evening all, basically I'm after tips re my little one not settling in the Moses basket at night. I'm breastfeeding and this is our pattern, she feeds, I wind her (I'm told I don't need to due to breastfeeding but still try, sometimes she does sometimes she doesn't I don't worry if she doesn't), put her in the Moses basket, she snuffles, snorts, makes noises etc, then gets hiccups, then cries.
I try to rock the basket to settle her, she just mardies and I cave in and pick her up, she settles in minutes on me, but then if I try to put her back in the Moses basket we have to same performance. She is only 11 days old.
I've already tried the put a t-shirt in the basket to see if she can smell me etc but it doesn't seem to make any difference

She sleeps more or less all day long either on a bean bag or an inflatable baby mat thing.

Any advice or tips great fully received xx

And sometimes a hiccup is just a hiccup.

It has a lot to do with class - overly anxious middle class mothers are convinced their child has reflux and milk allergies. It's embarrassing. Give your child a dummy like the rest of us, and the problems you've fabricated will disappear.

My eldest would never accept a dummy. If he had, it would have helped his reflux to an extent - the sucking provides relief. What makes you think "middle class mothers" don't try dummies?

I've already said sometimes a hiccup is just a hiccup but I'm not about to repeat myself. It was part of one of a few suggestions I gave to try and help the OP, and at least one other poster had similar thoughts based on her own experience. Nobody has said the OP's baby definitely has reflux or an allergy. Everyone else is trying to help, rather than deride the suggestions and experiences of other posters.

Yes, middle class mummies will try a dummy when all else has failed - but that's far too late. The baby is unlikely to take it if not given it in the first few weeks.

Mine refused a dummy. Found her thumb at a week old. Not sure what class that makes her.

Dd hated her moses basket. We moved her to her cot instead, and she was much happier.

It's trial and error OP, all babies are different, and what works for one won't work for another.

Tried mine with a dummy at 3 days old, and multiple times after that. As Boss has just said, what works for one doesn't always work for another. They're all different.

A few people have said it and I'll say it as well... Swaddling!! My DD was drifting off in my arms after feeding and as soon as I would put her in her crib (snuzpod so... so much for co-sleeping) her legs would start kicking, arms waving about, face all screwed up... Back to square one every time. In the early hours it gets frustrating, really frustrating.

Now, once she has fed and is looking satisfied I swaddle her and put her in the snuzpod and off she goes, and definitely for longer spells. It's easier during the night to put her back to sleep after a feed. My LO likes her arms out so I swaddle her from underneath her arms.

Good luck!
