It's perfectly angled and has (breathable) side support - awesome for babies who love to be held/hate to be swaddled. DS hated lying flat on his back and would startle himself awake all night that way. irene on "how do i get my 3 week old to sleep in her moses basket and not on me?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-get-my-3-week-old-to-sleep-in-her-moses-basket-and-not-on-me#post-419408 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:59:50 +0000 irene 419408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travelgirl1: Oh now I come back to see your thread here! Definitely swaddling! What is the nurse talking about?? No wonder your baby isn't sleeping in the basket! For "hunger cues", come on, he will cry if he's hungry! If you are not sure if he was hungry then free his arms then! Definitely go get the "Happiest Baby On The Block" dvd - it explains why swaddling and white noise works - because it imitates the womb where he was used to. We use the halo sleepsack with the swaddling "wings" so I think you have the option to just swaddle his arms and his legs is more "free". I hope that resolves your hip dysplasia concerns? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/HALO-SleepSack-Micro-Fleece-Swaddle-Small/dp/B001D4951C" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/HALO-SleepSack-Micro-Fleece-Swaddle-Small/dp/B001D4951C</a> Good luck! Now go swaddle your baby and get some sleep yourself ! ;) Weagle on "how do i get my 3 week old to sleep in her moses basket and not on me?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-get-my-3-week-old-to-sleep-in-her-moses-basket-and-not-on-me#post-417149 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:32:16 +0000 Weagle 417149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travelgirl1: The Halo swaddle sack leaves lots of room for leg movement. You can sew up the arm holes if, like my LO, she keeps working them out. The Miracle Blanket would leave room for legs at that age. You can also swaddle with a blanket, but leave lots of wiggle room for legs.

My DD hated lying flat in the Moses basket. She liked the rock-n-play! travelgirl1 on "how do i get my 3 week old to sleep in her moses basket and not on me?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-get-my-3-week-old-to-sleep-in-her-moses-basket-and-not-on-me#post-417074 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:12:53 +0000 travelgirl1 417074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @littlek: I am battling to introduce a soother but DH is against it. I think it would really help though. travelgirl1 on "how do i get my 3 week old to sleep in her moses basket and not on me?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-get-my-3-week-old-to-sleep-in-her-moses-basket-and-not-on-me#post-417071 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:11:46 +0000 travelgirl1 417071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wondered about swaddling but our nurse said not to because then she couldn't use her hands to give hunger cues... Also she has suspected hip dysplasia so we're trying not to restrict her leg movement.... It's driving DH mad but I really don't know how to fix it! littlek on "how do i get my 3 week old to sleep in her moses basket and not on me?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-get-my-3-week-old-to-sleep-in-her-moses-basket-and-not-on-me#post-417069 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:11:07 +0000 littlek 417069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Have you tried a pacifier? That sometimes helps as well. winniebee on "how do i get my 3 week old to sleep in her moses basket and not on me?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-get-my-3-week-old-to-sleep-in-her-moses-basket-and-not-on-me#post-417065 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:09:28 +0000 winniebee 417065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We swaddled and used the rock n play until 4 months.

The Miracle Blanket lived up to it's name, for sure. Also, maybe she likes a bit of an incline. Could you life one end of the basket just a little? Or let her sleep in a Nap Nanny/bouncer/swing/Rock n' Play? littlek on "how do i get my 3 week old to sleep in her moses basket and not on me?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-get-my-3-week-old-to-sleep-in-her-moses-basket-and-not-on-me#post-417056 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:06:03 +0000 littlek 417056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At that age, swaddling is very helpful. I usually waited till LO was drowsy and then I would put in his newborn napper to sleep.

My LO could break out if I did just one swaddle so I had to double swaddle and he started sleeping so well...starting around 2 weeks. He wouldn't let me put him down before I started the double swaddle! travelgirl1 on "how do i get my 3 week old to sleep in her moses basket and not on me?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-get-my-3-week-old-to-sleep-in-her-moses-basket-and-not-on-me#post-417015 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:53:43 +0000 travelgirl1 417015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think she's only properly slept in there twice on a night and that was when we introduced white noise. Before and since then, she'll only settle if she's on my chest. Any tips? she's only three weeks, so don't want to be too harsh on her but this mama needs some sleep!
