Ruby is 5 weeks old and is 3 and half weeks premature. For the first 4 weeks she pretty much fed and then fell asleep. This last week she has been more awake and also less settled when she is tired, ready to sleep. I put her down either asleep or sleepy and 5/10 mins later she's crying. As soon as I go in and pick her up, she stops and is asleep on my shoulder. I am happy to do this as she is still so little but my husband and MIL think we should let her cry a bit to settle herself as I will be making a rod off my own back. Who is right? Somtimes we have to pick her up and settle 4 or 5 times which can be draining in the night.
Thanks for any advice. Second time mum but feel like a first timer.
