As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details.

I'm Currently Feeling: | It's not good for their backs to spend too much time in a car seat while they're very young - I think most manufacturers suggest 2 to 3 hours maximum at once. Can you take him for a drive to get him off to sleep and then move him into his moses basket?
He might also get very hot in there with all that padding behind him - Sam's back always gets quite sweaty when he's been in his x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Do you have a bouncer? I was just thinking he might like being inclinded maybe? Or a swing because he likes the padding. You could also try swaddling him tightly to calm him then lay him in his basket. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | mine was the same but it was with his bouncer allthough now he will sleep first part of night in cot and second and third part of night in bouncer a bouncer might be better for him though as its more flat but still upright so he still might like it xxx |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Problem is, is that when he has fallen asleep in the car seat and if i move him to his moses basket he will wake up...but the bouncer sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the idea...will buy one tommorow x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | how about try puting some blankets under the top of the mattress in the moses basket? I done this with kyle as the midwife told me to. Not raised too much, maybe 2 inches. |
