Baby will only sleep in my bed!

[firsttimemummy96]

Hi everyone
My 9 week LG has to be rocked, shhhhed etc to sleep for about 30 mins and every time I put her in her Moses basket she wakes up right away but if I let her lye on or beside me she will sleep for hours.. how can I get her to sleep in her own basket and self settle before I lose the will!

Thanks

She’s nine weeks old she is meant to be snuggled up to her mum. Cosleeping works well for lots of people (follow safe bedsharing guidance) then you’d both get more sleep

She is a tiny baby, she is supposed to be cuddled to sleep and stay close to you. Totally normal.

When you move baby away from you she loses the heat from you, so make sure you have a blanket handy to quickly wrap to keep the heat in around her. This makes moving your baby much easier and less likely to completely wake up, they might just rouse a bit and can be nursed back to sleep with gentle rocking.
Not necessarily just to move into Moses basket but moving to anywhere/on to another person. You do have to be able to set ur baby down somewhere safe when they are asleep eg you need to go to the loo!, just make sure blankets are no higher than the armpits mid chest with arms out over the blanket, tuck blanket edges safely under the edge of the Moses mattress so they can't come loose and get worked up over ur baby's face.
9 weeks is lovely age, still happiest when curled up with mammy cuddles awww!

Warm the Moses basket up with a hot water bottle and I found putting the basket on the bed rather than next to the bed worked well. Obviously make sure it can’t fall off.

I've always swaddled my children (obviously naked sure layers are appropriate heat wise) I find it makes them sleep very soundly, I think they also feel very secure so when they are moved they arent disturbed. Obviously their bodies are extra floppy when they're so tiny and I think the swaddling gives them the extra bit of support for moving them then leaving them to sleep in the swaddle. It's really important to get them to be able to sleep I their own bed if you feel you need decent sleeps without a baby next to you. I was never comfortable with my babies sleeping in my bed.
