The HV came today to help me get DS to go down in his moses basket or pushchair as he will only sleep on me and as im a single parent and breast feeding it means i have no time to rest or even for a shower.
She recommended once DS was full putting him in his basket and comforting him but leaving him to cry without picking him up. She also advised giving him a dummy which does seem to settle him but he keeps spitting it out and getting worked up.
At 3 and a half weeks old is this too early to be doing this and should i just put up with having no sleep or should i persevere as we are only on day 1? I'm worried that DS will hate me for leaving him to cry and he looks exhausted after being so worked up today and i just want to give him a big cuddle.
