7wo dd 'sleeps' in a moses basket next to my side of the bed. I feed her in the dark about 11pm, then wrap her in her blanket and put her down, and she doesn't cry again until the morning. I wake up and feed her again about 3am (can't get away without changing her nappy either) and again she doesn't cry -- but almost all night she seems to wriggling and squirming and grunting. She startles a lot in her sleep, but she will not have her arms wrapped up (I managed it last night, but she was out pretty quickly, and when I tried again after the night feed she squawked until I let her out).
DH and I mostly manage to sleep through the wriggles and grunts, except for when I naturally wake to feed her -- I'm more concerned that it's stressful/distressing for her to be squirming all night in her basket. The only place she really sleeps soundly is in her sling, but obviously that won't do for the night! Anyone have any thoughts, especially about whether this is ok and not stressing her out too much? Thanks!
