Little one is very young -born on 3rd December. However due to complications before and After have not slept since 29/11.
Baby Nialle only wants to be on me. Any tips for getting him more comfortable with the moses etc so I can get a moment of rest.

Heat up the cot with a heated pad and then remove before you pop him in…worked for us. You can get them on amazon

We found this, despite the room being plenty warm enough the actual mattress was alot cooler and Jackson was alot fussier. We've made something called bed lasagna which basically is we have a mattress protector, puppy pad type thing and then the sheet and then the same again. This also means when he upchucks his feed a bit because his eyes are bigger than his tummy and he has the jaw strength of a bull shark so relinquishing the bottle is a fight and all the burping in the world doesn't prevent everything but it has the added benefit of making it slightly warmer and hes been alot less fussy since plus we can rip off the gross wet layer without digging through the bedding tub at 3 in the morning

I put womb sounds on Spotify and he slept for ages!

Hot water bottle to heat the crib first and put a Muslin tucked at the head end, that smells like you (especially effective if you're breastfeeding).
Our little one had silent reflux and it took us ages to work out why she screamed laid down. (Silent reflux burns and the goes back down but they aren't sick, so you don't know 😞)
We found that raising the head end of her moses basket with a couple of books helped. Xx

thank you, will definitely give this a go. Been trying the blanket that smells like me today so hopefully will see some results soon.
I was thinking it's some form of reflux but I keep getting told by midwife that he won't get it from being breastfed.

yeah I think maybe warming things up will be a good place to start.

I tried this today,so hopefully I will see some results soon

on its way. Right now I will try anything ☺️
