Hello all. I've read all your posts for years when trying to conceive, struggling through pregnancy and now a newborn. Thought I'd eventually write something!
I have a bright little 7 week old girl(first baby). I'm not sure whether she is a colicky baby or just has extreme witching hours but our evenings are awful. The result of this is that I'm basically scared of her crying throughout the day in case it starts off the terrible evening tantrums sooner.. Thus the sling naps. Its the ONLY place she will nap. She even fights it for a while when first wrapped up but I think thats over tiredness. Only just realised that 30 mins awake time is her limit! She's a big baby and my back in breaking. I love the closeness but quite frankly would love to shower when she naps! I know it's too early for any sort of "training" but looking for help in how convert her to naps in the cot. To make things harder... We Co sleep! Not by choice, but because when I settle her after those evil witching hours, I'm too scared to wake her up again when I put her down. I paid a fortune for "next to me" and lie looking at it every night as she is snoring on my chest 
I've tried putting her in it before the over tiredness and she screams. Putting her in when already asleep and she screams. One night I put her in it after her 4am sleep and she slept for an hour miraculously before screaming, but it's never worked since. Any advice welcome!! (or just tell me witching hours will go soon and she will be great...)
