Pander or persist

Kelly • Sun, Feb 26

Currently have a baby that hates sleeping anywhere but in our arms unless completely pooped that has her days and nights confused! After a long few days I'm exhausted, do we pander to her to get her back into sleeping at night again (stay awake and let her sleep in our arms at night) or persist and battle to keep her awake in the day then try to make her sleep in her bed? Tried to keep her awake one day and somehow she still managed to stay awake and cry til 3am in her Moses basket! (PS she's not just left to cry, I feel like I'm putting her dummy in her mouth every 2 minutes (she appears to settle briefly) and I was tickling her face (which works when she's in our arms) and whispering trying to soothe her with no success she just really seems to hate her bed!) She is was born at 32+2 and is now 2 1/2 weeks corrected (nearly 11weeks actual) never has liked her Moses basket but been able to tire her and she's been able to sleep a couple of hours at a time in her bed. One day just decided to stay awake all night then slept most of the day then it's not stopped! Advice?
