Hi All,
Hope someone can help shed some light... our baby is 6 weeks old now and every night is still quite different.
The bedtime routine is:
Up at 9pm
Change her nappy / clothes if need be
Put her in her lovetodream swaddle
I get into bed and then feed for however long she wants to feed
Usually and for the past weeks I've been feeding to sleep or rocking her after she's fed to sleep and then waiting about 15mins until I think she's in a deep sleep (while my back is breaking lol) and gently putting her down in the moses basket.
Most of the time as soon as her head hits the pillow her eyes open! Last night the only different things we did were:
• Around 7:30pm my husband took her out for 50mins for a walk where she fell asleep (had a nap) in the carrier
• When they came back I then gave her the shortest bath in history as she was screaming her head off
• She naturally pulled off after feeding so I put her straight into the moses basket while awake, popped my little finger into her mouth to suck on and gently rocked the moses basket and shushed her
She fell asleep sooo quickly (at 10:30pm) and we've had our best nights sleep yet!
My question is: has anyone used the rokit rocker on a moses basket before and is it safe to do so? I know it's designed for prams but I honestly think the movement helped last night and thought it could be useful so I don't have to physically rock the basket myself.
TIA!
