DS 11 days old. Have 2.6 yr old DD - struggled with her feeding/sleeping so much in early days i ended up with v bad PND. Therefore decided to try to be much more relaxed with DS - we're co-sleeping so we all get some kip. BF on demand. MIL & DF already saying we'll regret all this. I know we'll prob have to do some kind of sleep training eventually, and we'd like him in his cot by about 12 wks, but at the mo just enjoying not feeling horrendously sleep deprived & not dreading the nights. Esp as have toddler to look after too, need to be semi-conscious!
Anyway, as well looking for some kind of moral support that it is possible to end up with a good self-soother/sleeper despite feeding to sleep & co-sleeping in early days, was also hoping someone could advise me on what age these teeny babies start to spend a little more time awake in the day, so i can help him tell day from night. i already do the sleeping with noise/light in day & dark/quiet at night. He still spends most of the daytime sleeping & i don't want that to turn into spending most of the night awake!
Someone please tell me to stop fretting & enjoy the baby days while he's still tiny before i woryy myself into PND again. Ta xx
