    Smile Out n about with the pram

    Hi
    I'd probably try to get her to sleep on her back in the pram during the day. Try to make her lie flat on her back (ie. not in a seated position), possibly with her head raised slightly.
    Then go for a walk with the pram and see if she'll settle like that. It'll get her used to sleeping on her back.
    I sometimes let my little boy cry for a LITTLE, and then he goes to sleep. This is only about 20- 30 seconds max, if he cries any longer, I pick him up. Depends on the cry too, I often pick him up straight away.
    Many babies prefer sleeping on their bellies when they're little, but she might change when she gets a few months older.
    Also, if the pram thing doesn't work, get one of the monitors mentioned in this thread, because you really need to sleep, or you'll completely loose it!
    A happy mum makes a happy baby!
    Hope it works out for you

    thankyou so much for all of your helpfull replies i decided to put her in her pram and it worked like a charm! she slept! she burped, then had some gaviscon, then went to sleep on her back.....then i slept and slept i think it was because her pram is at a slight upright angle so it must keep it all down...next step ..getting her from pram to cot.... but 1st things 1st

    Yay! I'm so glad to hear you got some sleep, too. It is so much easier to find solutions when you are rested. Hope this continues for you.
