So baby is nearly 10 weeks now and spent first week in NICU with an infection, born at 39+5 my waters broke early but I wasn’t aware hence infection
Anyway I do everything on demand, feed, sleep and I work out baths for us both , cleaning the house, washing babygrows etc around all of this.
I’m 35 and surprise pregnancy after infertility so I’m loving it but as is was a shock (I found out at 10 week but didn’t know how far along I was til I had a private scan and I saw a 12 week baby I was told would never see!) I was used to my orderly life but I believed on demand was better than trying to get a schedule / routine too early.
Anyway against my better judgment I’ve read Gina ford and baby whisperer and feel like I’m doing it all wrong!
After a restless night feed at 7am, then he slept til 9.40 more feed now he’s back to sleep of his own accord.
I am like - should I wake him to play, should I try and follow Gf now, or just wing it like I have been.
This book reading had created instant anxiety, especially as they seem to promise better nights sleep quite quickly.
To be frank, he does seem to want to sleep at night he’s still got startle reflex and snorts alot that wakes him up.
So, what do I do now? Wish I could erase the books from my brain, I just don’t think it would work as frankly I’d rather carry on like I am.
So, what’s my problem.
