I just wondered how you all settle your babies after feeds etc? Usually in the day straight after a feed I wind Poppy and then we go out in the car or her pram so she goes off to sleep. But when we are at home I find it really hard to get her to settle.
At night I feed her in the nursery in the nurring chair, then take her through to our room to put her in her moses basket. She is usually flat out after her feed but as soon as I put her down her eyes are wide open and she is totally awake. More often than not she starts to hiccup, even when she's been winded.
We have tried warming her bed with a hot water bottle and leaving something of mine in the basket but they don't seem to work. At night I can spend 20 minutes feeding her and over an hour settling her down.
I also find that her most awake period of the day is just after we have tried to put her down for the night ie from 7 till 10.30pm.
Does anyone have any tips?
(She is 6 weeks old but was 6 weeks premature.)
