Everyone I know with a baby says I should have a bed time routine but my 5 week old DD doesn't like to sleep until 8.30pm then wakes at 9-10 ish feeds until 11pm then will sleep until 3.30ish sleep then wake at 7ish. (some nights are still random and contain little sleep. I was trying to bath her and feed her at 6.3o pm every night but then ended up sat in the bedroom for two hours every night with her so I have resorted to feeding her sat in the front room with my hubby and putting her in the carry cot there, then lifting it upstairs when she has fallen to sleep. Next time she wakes I feed her and put her back into her carry cot in the bedrrom with full night time rules (quiet, dark etc) she will now self settle at this feed and the middle of the night feed. Am I doing this wrong should I not been putting her to bed late and in the front room-which is well lit and noisey but she sleeps very well with noise.
Also with reqards to nap times. I have been letting her nap when she feels like it during the day and always in well lit noisey areas of the house. Never in her carry cot but in her bouncy chair etc. Is this right. How many naps should she have a day.
