Baby won't go down in Moses basket

[OnYourSix]

My 5 week old has suddenly started to refuse to go to sleep anywhere apart from on us ( apart from his car seat in a moving car). Up until the weekend he was great but on Sunday night just screamed whenever we tried to put him down. I know 5 weeks is tiny, but I'm really struggling with staying up half the night, and he wont go down during the day for me to nap.
Annoyingly he's such a good sleeper otherwise, goes 3-4 hourly between feeds and good naps in the day, just as long as he's being held! The sleep deprivation is really affecting me wanting to get out and about in the day which I'm worried is starting to affect my mental health.
Anyone have any experiences and tips to get him back in his Moses basket?

Warm the mattress first (use hot water bottle and take it out before putting him down).

Put a previously worn t shirt/night shirt/piece of material you have worn down your top in the Moses basket so he can smell you.

Reflux? Doesn't want to lie flat. Try putting a pillow or folded towel under the head of the Moses to angle it slightly

It's not very helpful but I just had to persevere. I still now only get her sleeping in two hour bursts and she is 6 weeks. Currently she is lying on me trying to poo and sleep and feed....lovely for 4.00am

I'm at the same stage as you- so solidarity!
There's a development leap at this stage so baby is more clingy. I remember it with my first.

Look up safe co-sleeping. It's the only thing that's working for us at night. The Lullaby trust & Unicef have good guidance.

I agree with whoisyou, safe co-sleeping will result in you and your baby having a peaceful, good night's sleep.

Cosleeping was the solution for us too, with a cot with its side off next to our bed so DC had their own sleeping surface.

I second co- sleeping. It was the best thing for ME. I even breastfed why lying down next to baby, so there was kids need to sit up.

thanks for all the advice, we're already doing a lot of these but will keep persevering! Always nice to know I'm not the only one and I havent broken my baby!!

I forgot to say I also play white noise through you tube.
