9 week old suddenly screams in pram

Just what the title says... the pram used to be my one surefire way to make my baby fall asleep but this week she will just start crying in it! I know she is crying from being completely overtired, she will fall asleep immediately once I put her in the sling. Anyone else had this? I'm sure it's just another phase but I feel like we're losing nap options...

A dummy may make it easier for her to settle independently. It allows for comfort sucking. Also, if it's a flat pram, then swaddling may help her nap better independently.

Thanks @FATEdestiny! We use a dummy, but she gets so hysterical she just spits it out. Will try the swaddle, although it's been so warm I haven't wanted to use one during the day if we are out and about. x

My DD did this - pram was the only way I could get her to nap and when she started screaming in it I was so upset! I lifted the head of the pram slightly so it wasn’t completely flat and it worked a treat. Smile

@Vicky1989x Oh I will try that, thanks! x
