Just after some advice to see if we should be doing anything differently now, to set us up for good sleep habits. DD is 5 weeks and generally now sleeps 3-4 hours at a stretch including overnight. She does take quite a while to settle though and often needs a dummy to relax her enough to sleep. If we put her down drowsy but awake she will just cry, then is even harder to settle as she gets overtired. She also doesn't give much in the way of warning cues - very quickly becomes overtired and goes into meltdown. I've read about the 4th trimester but also read contradictory things about trying to establish habits of being put down/falling asleep before the 4 month sleep regression hits. I'm really confused! When did you start? We do have a vague routine of dim lights/feed upstairs at roughly the same time each night but not any extra routine yet as she won't tolerate much more awake time yet.
