For the past week, my 3 week old won’t be put down. He squirms and whimpers as soon as I put him anywhere. He also does this when we put him in his next to me at night. I think he might have a bit of silent reflux as I can hear him gulping down sometimes, he sounds stuffy and makes a lot of grunting/ snorting noises. I just want to be able to help him get comfortable. Our issue also is that I have a 2 year old to also look after and I’m so sleep deprived and struggling to balance the two. What is everyone else doing?

Carrier in the day, chest sleeping at night x

Mines the same he’s also 3 weeks but luckily sleeps in his next to me at night. I have it tilted so maybe that’s why? I haven’t figured out a way to safely tilt the Moses basket 😅 I end up carrying him in a sling most of the time

Mine was the same for the first month - constantly fights sleep especially at night and we eventually realised she was way too cold for the 16-20degree guideline!
We also tried lots of sleeping bags, blankets and sleep suits and realised she prefers sleepsuits over everything else. Nowadays we sometimes still use the hot water bottle trick to transfer her into the next to me so she doesn’t wake up
