That first day he was born I thought just maybe he would be a quieter, calmer and possibly easier baby than Ollie but over the last four weeks I have learnt that's not the case. After just two days Joel showed the true him with a very shouty cry, not letting me sleep with constant feeding (every 1-2hours mostly). After 5 days he rolled from his front to back which makes us think he could reach his milestones early like Ollie did (trouble ahead) Ollie could walk at 11 months which I felt was too early.
Four weeks on it has been impossible to put him down for long periods of time in a Moses basket or chair, I've tried leaving him to cry it out in the hope he would settle himself but it doesn't seem to happen and his cry is pretty annoying as it is so loud. The best method so far has been placing him in his chair and rocking it, giving a dummy and wrapping a blanket around him but again it doesn't tend to last longer that 30 minutes.Any advice would be much appreciated on getting newborns to settle in a Moses basket.
The last couple of days he has cried a lot more because he has a stuffy nose which is understandable but you get to a point and think what do I do to stop him and o far it's been feeding him which I thought would make it more difficult as don't babies breathe through there noses.
