When did you put your baby in the 'big cot'?

[octonuddle]

So we invested in a Cocoonababy for PFB which we have in the 'big cot' next to our bed. She is 6 weeks. The thing is, although she sleeps in it, quite often she looks a bit uncomfortable - a bit scrunched up maybe and I am wondering if it is actually making her reflux worse as she makes lots of growling noises in it! When we are out she seems to sleep fine in her pram (no growling!) but I wouldn't want her sleeping overnight in it, so I was wondering if we could just put her straight into the big cot? Is there a reason why this would be a bad idea? I don't really want to buy a moses basket or carry cot at this point. Any thoughts?

I don't see that it would be a bad idea my youngest is 17 weeks and has been in moses basket during the day but sleeping in his cot at night. I have done it with all 6 of mine and never had a problem.
It might help to prop the cot mattress up so it's at a 45 degree angle for your dds reflux. It was suggested to me with my prem Ds3 when he had it. We used folded blankets under the cot mattress.

I put my ds in his big cot at 8 weeks. He has slept better since. More space to wriggle in his sleep!

DS is 6wks today and I'm wondering how much longer he Will go in his basket for. He was 9lb1 at birth and is quite long, and has started stretching out more so almost fills the basket! My only problem is the cot can only go at the foot of the bed and given that he wakes a lot, Will mean harder nights for me.

He also grunts a lot in the early hours

Mine is going into big cot from day one in a sleepyhead.
