Hi
I have been bf my 6 week old on demand and she generally goes around 2 hrs between feeds however she more often than not feeds to sleep. I have to then hold her for about 10mins at night before putting her down but she refuses to sleep in basket in the day and wants to be held the entire time! I put her in the basket but she wakes up! My DM said its because i feed her to sleep so she's having hugs and therefore will expect it the entire nap! I've been using a baby carrier to free up my arms and get things done but I'd love her to sleep in the basket.
What can I do? If I don't feed her to sleep, how else am I supposed to get her to sleep? Do most babies at this age feed to sleep? if yours do, will they sleep in their cots/baskets?
TIA for answering all my questions
