Baby Can't Fall Asleep in Pram!

[Piemistress]

Hi,

DD is 11 weeks old. Since about 4 weeks she can't fall asleep in the pram. She doesn't cry in it unless she is over tired and cannot get herself off to sleep. Am finding this quite odd as I thought all babies fell asleep in the pram! She also howls in the car for about ten mins before falling asleep. My son was the opposite and I couldn't keep him awake in the pram or car!

This means she takes her naps in the sling but this isn't always practical. If she isn't due a nap she is happy enough in the pram. Is it something to do with the motion or do you think she just wants to be held! Has any body had similar and their babies grown out of it? She sleeps ok in the cot at night.

The only way I can get her to nap in the pram is to put her in it asleep but she always wakes up after 25 mins. Am wondering if it will get better when she can self settle?

Thanks!!

I know! I tried for ages with the pram but total fail! She is happy in it as long as she isnt tired! DP put her in the sling and walked in the waves for an hour! I really.dont think.she can fall asleep without human contact, although isnt the same at night? She does get put in her cot asleep but is ok at self settling I just dont get it!

DD mananged a good nap today in the mei tai - she does sleep better on my back than my front :)

How old is your DD again little?

14months and FINALLY asleep! So I should turn in as well :)

Hope you got a good sleep!

DD just did an exploding poo in her sling!! What am I going to do for this afternoons nap, EEK!
