We have a 2 week old and a 3 yr old. Baby is lovely and cuddly and is generally a good sleeper. However, he can't seem to settle himself - he really loves being held close whilst sucking his dummy.
Now this is all well and good as I am loving the closeness, but its obviously not practical a lot if the time i.e. during the night when I am desperate to get back to sleep after he has fed or during the day when I have the other one to look after and play with/cook for/put to bed etc!
He also loves being in the sling which has its place and is great. However I don't want bad habits to develop early on but at the same time don't want to leave him to cry as he is so young x
