Newborn day sleeps....sling addict!

Hi all,

My gorgeous 5 week old boy loves to sleep in the sling and Ive found it essential to use it with my toddler in tow. However I am unable to transfer him without him waking up and also cant get him to nap in the pram at all - he goes to sleep there easily but wakes within 10 minutes. I have tried swaddling him in the pram and white noise but nothing works.

I’m finding having him in the sling so much is impacting on how much I can do with my toddler, not to mention it is hurting my back and in this weather is unbearably hot. He also comes out bright red and sweaty after a sling nap.

Any tips on successful buggy napping?! He does sleep well at night and can do 4–5 hr stretches in his crib.

I would try naps in the bouncy chair. It allows for easy movement to get baby fast asleep, but can be done in the lounge while also being with the toddler.
