Baby won't sleep in Moses basket please help!

[Sparklesandglitter]

DD will sleep in her car seat, pram, on a play mat, in her swing, on me/DP during the day. But when you put her in her Moses basket at night she will not settle. She is much better on her front (see my previous post) but hates her back.
I read a link somebody else posted about reverse cycling and that seems likely but I'm getting to the end of my tether now!she goes 2-3 hours between feeds during the day but feeds every 30mins to an hour and a half at night. She is better in our bed but I don't want to co-sleep (DP smokes and I don't want to start a habit we then have to break)
Any advise about helping her settle in her basket/encouraging sleeping at night would be greatly appreciated!!! TIA

He doesn't smoke in bed it's the increased SIDS risk I worry about re:smoking!

How old is she?

DS thought that the Moses Basket was the work of the devil and would only sleep on on, DH or in the pram while I walked!!

We co-slept through necessity, I never referred to it as co-sleeping, as to me that is something that you choose to do. I called to it as "in with us" .

At 14 weeks he was too big for the bloody Moses Basket and we've worked from there.

He's not 10 months and generally does 7.30 till 5ish in his own room, then comes in for a feed and snooze till about 6-6.30ish. He has on occasion done until 6 and once 7 in his own bed!

I co sleep as I also have a baby who is hard to settle as when you put him down his eyes just ping open. When he was smaller, I would feed him with a blanket under him and then just transfer the lot to the moses basket so he wasn't being woken by a cold sheet. He's five months old now though and is going through the lovely sleep regression and is feeding at similar intervals through the night. I couldn't cope if we didn't cosleep.

I co slept, and now DS is in his cot which is up against the bed with the side down so he has his own space but is close by. He still wakes during the night for a feed or two so it's just more convenient. I really wouldn't worry about breaking habits and please ignore anyone who says the following words: "rod for your own back". DS came into bed with us on his first night, sleeping in my arms. After a few weeks he squirmed in my arms so he lay next to me. Gradually he wanted more space, hence ending up in the cot now. We have not had to force him out of bed, rather it has happened calmly and organically. And most importantly I have got more sleep than I would have if I'd had to settle him in his Moses basket after feeds in the middle of the night. I wish I'd done this with DD.

She's only 3weeks so very little still I jus worry about co sleeping because of duvets etc I fell asleep with her on me the other day and she was under the duvet and when I woke up she was boiling and sweaty (nice!)

I wouldn't worry about forming a habit with co-sleeping, it wasn't a big problem for us to break it. DD never comes in bed with us now.

You do need to feel that it's safe though and read all the guidelines. Think about ways you can make it safe. I ended up using a sleeping bag and dh went in the spare room, for instance. It wasn't for that long and trying to get a bit of sleep was the most important thing to me at the time.

We also did have a bit more success with a rocking crib.

Second the sleeping bag. It means tht you can keep the baby away from the duvet. Do read the guidelines for safe co sleeping though.

Well we changed a few things last night including BF to FF, introduced a dummy and used the rocking Moses basket stand (added benefit being that's due to the rock when she is "feet to foot" her weight causes it to move do her head is higher than her tummy slightly)
We managed 1.5-2.25 hours between feeds BUT we slept between feeds!!minimal fuss, no stress for me or DD Lets hope this is a sign of things to come

She's mix fed anyway so not just introduced FF
