Is this good progress?

As a FTM keen to know if baby appears to be on the right track for good sheep associations?

He's 4 weeks & I have him on a loose Gina Ford style routine. He's breastfed & naturally falls into Ginas routine with 3-3.5 HR gaps between feeds. He's 10lbs and packing on weight - I've no problems with latch & assume he's feeding well due to weight gain & plenty of poopy & wet nappies.

7-7.30am wakes & feeds & short play
9-9.30am morning nap
10-10.30am wakes & feeds & play
12-12.30 lunchtime nap
2pm wakes & feeds & plays
4-5pm afternoon nap
5pm feed
6.15ish bath
6.30pm feed & baby massage
7-7.30pm down for bed in quiet dark room
9.45-10pm baby up & fed by husband using 5oz expressed milk
10.30pm sleep
1am wake & feed, down by 2am
4-4.30am wake & short feed, down by 4.40- 5am
Start again

I do use a dummy to help him settle - but don't leave it in. He sucks on it while sleepy & I take it out when he's starting to fall asleep/ is just asleep. He's aldo swaddled & played soft lullabies via a Euan dream sheep. He has a really strong sucking reflex & seems to like the dummy a lot & currently can't quite suck his fingers (which I hope he'll be able to to self settle).

My question is - if I carry on like this will baby drop a feed sometime soonish at night? Is there anything I need to watch out for ..?

Thanks

I mean SLEEP associations LOL. I'd be concerned if he had sheep associations ...

Your doing brilliantly your baby is happy and settled in a good routine keep doing what your doing. The only thing I did as baby got a little bit older was to wake for a feed in the day if they was getting to the 3.5-4hr to get as many feeds in during the day obviously I never woke up in the night. Eventually he will sleep that little bit longer during the night it'll be more of a gradual process rather than suddenly he'll sleep 12 hrs.
Keep doing what your doing,I wouldn't worry to much about the dummy either if he likes it and it helps him settle go with it hv actually recommend them now as it helps with sids and it's easy enough (sort of) taken away when they're older.
