I'm a bit conflicted about what to do and thought if I wrote it down it might help me but also I could get some good advice or at least some support.

DD does not sleep very well in the day in her basinette. I have to rock her to sleep and then when she's sound asleep I can put her down but she will always wake up after exactly 30mins!! It's totally different at night. She will feed to sleep or sometimes she will even just be sleepy and I can put her in the basinette and she just goes off to sleep (amazing!). Then when she wakes during the night she is still half asleep and I feed her and she just goes back to sleep, great!! But she can't do this during the day, she will wake up after 30mins and I can't get her back to sleep. Why is it different during the day?

I have a HAB and she will sleep in that during the day. She usually has all her day sleeps in it and I can get her to sleep usually 1.5hrs sometimes 2hrs or more!! But then I have days like 2 days ago where I get cranky and think why on earth can't she just sleep in the basinette, she should be able to! And I try and make her sleep in it all day which ends up with her only having 3 x 30min sleeps a day!! When I do this she's not happy when she's awake coz she's too tired she's just cranky and cries more. When she sleeps in the HAB all day she's happy and smiley and never cries. And I'm happier because I'm not having to put up with a cranky baby and getting frustrated coz I can't make her sleep longer.

So I think I've answered my own question now. We're both happier when she has her sleeps in the HAB. But I still have all these thoughts......... she should be able to sleep in the basinette.....I'll have to carry her around forever........will she ever learn to self-settle......maybe I should persist with the bassinette.

And then you have other people like family making comments making you think you're 'spoiling' her.

So should I persist with the basinette and teach her how to sleep in there??
Why can't she anyway?? What's different about day time??
Why does she always wake after 30mins?? Even in the HAB she gets restless at 30 mins but bc she's on me I'm able to quickly rock her so she goes back to sleep. Is it just a phase?? It's only been the last week or 2, she seemed to sleep a lot more heavily before that.

Thanks for listening!!!!!!! Sorry it's so long!!!!
