New baby won't sleep lying down, she won't tolerate it for long (a few minutes tops) while awake either before screaming her head off. Nappy changing is not fun :-(. She is still quite curled up and foetal looking and was a long, large baby at birth (>95th %tile) so may have been especially squashed up.
Conversations with MW, HV and previous experience with DD1 have meant she is sleeping on my front tummy down while I lie propped up on pillows or sleeping propped up on a firm pillow/breast feeding v-shaped pillow. During the day she sleeps in a sling or in arms. She definitely prefers sleeping upright on a person or in a sling. She doesn't really like cradle hold.
Is it possible she has something out of alignment in her back/hips causing her to find lying flat uncomfortable?
She gets very windy if she cries before a feed and gulps air down while feeding, we are trying hard to prevent this through BF positions, infacol, getting her on the boob before crying commences etc. Could this just be due to wind? I suspect more to it as she doesn't ever want to lie flat.
I just desperately want to put her down and get a couple of hours sleep comfortably not upright.
