Sleep advise
I'm posting in incognito just incase of keyboard warriors.
But my little one is only 5 days old. She will sleep on me/ dad no issues. Same in the car seat and flat on the sofa.
However she is refusing to settle in a moses basket. Last night's sleep was horrendous for both me and dad. And I gotta deal with a toddler on top of this.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Is it worth getting a next to me cot instead ?? Help

Is it one of those crunchy woven moses baskets? Or does it wobble etc? We had one like that with my first and he never got on with it so it quickly got given away. The next to me worked brilliantly though for night sleep
My first never ever went in a crib or cot either, the next to me was the same. Cried instantly as soon as put down and never settled. Ended up co-sleeping as no other choice and partner got banished to the other room. It was a life saver. As long as you follow the safe co-sleeping advice, it’s the only thing that works with some babies
My second is 2 weeks now and also seems to be a Velcro baby so just went straight to co-sleeping rather than the agony of trying for weeks to separate her into a crib. When you have a toddler as well just need any scrap of rest you can possibly get!
My 10 day old was the same, we put rolled up towels beneath the sheets in the crib and baskrt to make it snuggly and cocoony, it's against guidelines so at your own risk, but meant she got used to those places, and last night she slept in the next to me without, so hoping it was just helpful to get her used to it
Baby might not like the included space have you got a cot you can try ?
