So far we just keep Poppy down with us until we go up to bed. She normally just sleeps in her pram until then, then goes into moses basket inbetween feeds.
last few nights though she's waking a lot, doing lots of light sleep and murmering, like she's on the verge of crying. I do probably 2 feeds a night, but she ends up falling asleep on my breast. After lots of poking and trying to wake her, i'll put her back in her basket but she then tends to wake up 5 mins later crying. I've ended up putting her into bed with us at that point as she tends to sleep for longer that way and i get SOME sleep to keep me going. But even then she murmers really loudly! And sometimes it sounds like she's swallowing hard or choking, so i end up waking up anyway and staring at her (and she's normally totally fine)
my HV suggested i start putting her up in her basket now in the evenings ,to seperate night and day better. Going to do that this week, but just wondered if anyone else has a murmering baby who seems to sleep better with you? And am i taking her out of her basket too early once she cries? I just feel at 3 weeks leaving her bawling seems so awful.
Any advice? Thanks
