Thanks everyone Short of the play pen (very small house) I'll try it all. Big Dora doll was her favourite to swaddle and shush but now there's a real baby Dora's been sacked! Might see if we can head to a toy store and get her own baby. I've been using the car capsule for her portable "bed" as a bassinette or portacot is just too big to wheel around our pokey house, and our safety gate is useless, Elly had that one figured out about a week after she was walking! My new wrap sling (like a hug-a-bub) arrived today so that should help some too, fingers crossed!
