Hey everyone,

Lately, I've been perservering with Madeleine in her bassinette. She doesn't go down in there after every feed and sometimes will grizzle, I go in, give her a pat and walk out again and repeat the process a few times. Sometimes she'll go down to sleep herself and sometimes she won't. I don't rock her to sleep all the time either. She does love her vibrating bouncer, it's a Fisher Price one. She loves being in it and I find if she won't settle, I pop her in that and she'll go to sleep and be really content! But when I go to move her into her bassinette, she'll wake and be rather unhappy lol! This happens mainly through the day, she'll go in her bassinette at night most of the time and during her 2am feed, she'll go back in. Sometimes though we co-sleep with her and she settles straight away.

My question is, is there any harm that can be done to Madeleine being in the bouncer a bit and falling asleep in there? Of course I supervise her so that's not a problem. Has anyone got any sleeping tips for me regarding putting her in the bassinette? I have used music, heat pack, rocking bassinette, patting her etc etc but to no avail. Do they grow out of this or is this just a phase because she's still no little??

Thanks for your help.

Love Bindy xo
