1 month old, won't sleep on back

[AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps]

My one month old has never really liked sleeping on her back.

Now she's got so over tired, she struggles to get to sleep and stay asleep. I can get her to sleep in my arms. But as soon as I put her down on her back, she'll wake in about 10 minutes.

If she's in my or dad's arms. She'll sleep happily

But I have fallen asleep with her on me a couple of timed, which I don't want to happen obviously.

Not sure what to do

White noise does nothing seemingly.

Swaddling. Doesn't seem to work.

I have out hot water bottle on mattress to make it warm. (Obviously taking it out before DD is put down

Does anyone have any ideas?

I am trying to get her to sleep as much as possible to catch up with her sleep. But yesterday I had to go out somewhere with her and she "missed" a sleep. And one sleep was disturbing, because I had the put her down

Today and tomorrow we're doing nothing at all and plan to get her sleeping as much as possible. She sleeps really well on me. I can do this during the day.

But night times break the good sleep.

Any advise?

...... 20 minutes....stirring has stopped....still asleep 😱

Im doing it...I’m going to try and sleep.....

👍

Similar fiasco here, DS is 6 weeks old... Was about to try swaddling so this thread gives me hope!

This used to happen at a similar age with my DD. It's so frustrating and tiring. I didn't want to co sleep regularly. Does your Moses basket rock? I found the only way to get her to sleep was to put her in the basket and rock her to sleep instead of feeding her to sleep because the moving into the basket always woke her up. This only worked during the day for us because we had a next to me for bedtime sleep. She would eventually go to sleep in that at night but it would take a long long time. Often we just had to do shifts downstairs with her sleeping on us or in the Moses basket. Also make sure she's really well burped. Hang in there, it will get better and sounds like you're doing all the right things.

I think for the first two months my baby slept on me because he was so refluxy and nothing else workes. I slept on a V shaped pillow so I couldn't roll and baby was on my chest. Worked really well

I just woke up to find her still asleep and starting to stir.

She’s on the boob now....

Stop watch says she was in and asleep for 2hr20... so, it’s been a good 3hr sleep total

Wheeeeee....

Let’s hope it wasn’t a coincidence 👍🤞

She went down for another couple of hours 👍

Changed her nappy... and is now a bit unsettled and hasn’t gone down properly since.... :/ that’ll teach me 😂😂
She “escaped” the swaddle, had a leg and an arm poking out 😂
Have reswaddled, trying again. She’s had a big feed. So here’s hoping 🤞🤞🤞🤞
