My 6 week old has decided in the last 2weeks NOT to sleep in his Moses basket.he'll happily fall asleep in my arms/ post nursing/ in bed with us. But f I transfer across he fidgets then cries in 5mins or so.
Right mow i'm typing with him on my lap in deep sleep but this will be 5th attempt.
Exhausted- any ideas welcome!
Thanks!

is he warm enough? hot water bottle in the basket, then take it out before you put him in?
Or sleeping bag/ growbag? It can keep them warmer.

Or put a worn tshirt of yours in the basket with him so he can smell mummy?

Co-sleeping is a sensible option for many people. Recommended by WHO if you do it safely - it was the only way for me to get dc3 to sleep.

Good luck!
