Co sleeping

Bit of advice pls! So my little girl was really good at settling in her Moses basket/next to me but when she turned about 6 weeks she just wouldn’t settle and would wake everytime I put her down so I let her sleep with me so I could get some sleep too, she’s just turned 8 weeks and I want to be able to introduce her back to her next to me on a night, is there a way to go about this? Or am I just winging it 🤣🙌🏻

With my LO it always worked to put her down in her cot when she was almost asleep and then place my hand on her chest for a little to replicate the pressure of being on your chest

i went through this i always tried to put him down in his next to me during the day as i had more patience/ wasnt as tried to sit next to his and shush/have my hand gently but firmly on his tummy but was still co sleeping at night. Once he got used to that i out him down in his next to me at night once he woke tried to settle back down in next to me if he didn’t then i brung him into bed with me and gradually decreased the amount he was in bed with me. for example then his next two wakes would be in next to me thats what worked for us he is now 5 months and i never need to co sleep with him he will sleep all night in his bed but every baby is different xx

if you breastfeed it may help to put abit of your milk on her bed sheets aswell so she can smell you or put a hot water bottle in her next to me so its warm when you put her down. Try put her down legs, bum, back then head and can even lean over and hover you body over them so they still sense your there. But if co sleeping is the only thing that works then thats fine too just make sure its done safely. No baggy clothes i slept with just my nursing bra on, no smoke or drink, no pillows near him or duvet xx
