My 5day old.

[mummynumnum]

Sleeping all day and much of night but won't settle in Moses basket at night despite being in there all day. Last two nights, had to resort to
co sleeping to get him off which I am nit
sure comfortable with. Any tips for getting him to settle
in Moses basket?

I would co-sleep tbh!

Have you tried swaddling?

There are safe co-sleeping practices which might make you feel a bit happier about it?

in the early days i just feed to sleep then slowly move them into the basket. are you feeding to sleep or trying to put them down awake?

Feeding to sleep but wakes in Moses basket. Sleeping all day aswell.

I had this problem with my first baby, she breastfed to sleep and then woke, hysterical every time we put her in the moses basket at night. We started putting a hot water bottle in the basket (worked wonders), and using a growbag (although he may be a bit small for one),or try swaddling, if he's wrapped whilst feeding he might be less likely to wake when you transfer him. It is early days, things will get easier

Has slept most of day so anticipating a wakeful night!

If sleeping all day, then maybe that's the problem? Try to keep a little (very little at this age) stimulated and awake during the day. But even with encouragement, probably won't be able to manage more than an hour or so awake at a time (and that includes feeding!). I also second swaddling as a real help. Tis early days...

Congratulations!

I feed my 13wk baby to sleep in my bed then transfer him to moses basket after he is snoring. Did however co-sleep for first 2 months as he was happier like that. Took me a few weeks to get over fear induced by scare stories about co-sleeping. You may find this article of interest...
