You'd think, as this is my third that i would be a pro at this but here i am again. 5 week old baby and no clue how im going to get into a routine. In fact it sort of feels as if i never will from where im looking right now.
Im bf and night times generally go different each night, there is no pattern emerging at all right now, he will fall asleep on me downstairs, we will bring him to bed when we go around 9-10pm, attempt to put him down in his crib and then wait for when he wakes. Last night he lasted a whole hour before waking and at his best (which was well over a week ago) he slept until 2am. Then i will put him in bed with us and feed lying down and end up keeping him there until morning as any attempts to put him in his crib again after the first night feed end up with me rocking him for hours on end before he finally settles in his bed without waking straight back up when i put him down. I have always been dead against co sleeping but with 2 other kids to get to school by half 8 each morning i need to try and get some form of sleep each night.
Im really keen to find other mums with a similar age baby (5 weeks) to see how they are coping and what your routines are daytime and night, if you have one yet? Im hoping it will help make me feel like im not alone and that what im going thru right now is normal!
