Bedtime prior to 6 months and newborn hates being on her back.

My LG is 9 weeks so it's moot right now.

What do people do for bedtime under 6 months? Since youre not supposed to leave them alone so what do people do without one of you going to bed/the nursery at 6-7pm each night?

Seconly my LG HATES being on her back. Its any time of thr day but worse and trickier at night. She is screaming in minutes. We cosleep and i usually feed her to sleep with side feeding and tip her onto her back when i think shes deep asleep. She is usually awake and screaming in minutes. What could be causing this?

DS is 3 months and he comes to bed when we come to bed, normally between 10-11pm.

In the evening, he will nap in his pram or supervised on the sofa/on us.

Could potentially be silent reflux? Does she arch her back?

Is all her wind up if you're feeding and then slipping away?
Could be silent reflux.

Also she could have some discomfort - I took my newborn to a cranial osteopath for various reasons but he pointed out her shoulders were very tense. She was loads better being on her back after she had this discomfort eased!

I didn't leave DD upstairs alone I just fed her to sleep and held her downstairs until we went up to bed. She wasn't bothered by the tv etc until she was over 6 months. She's 8 months now and I can put her to bed upstairs and come back down without her waking up, so we do that.

No idea re lying on her back though, sorry.

Like others until 6 months my little boy would just sleep on me until we went to bed, we were lucky in that he was never bothered by the TV. We had the back issue with him as a newborn, could be silent reflux - any other signs? He could also just not like being away from you, have you tried swaddling? Warming the crib slightly and putting a t shirt that smells of you over the sheet can also help. It got a lot better for us sleep wise at about 10/12 weeks (then all went to pot again at the 4 month regression!)
