My baby is 11 weeks old tomorrow and I’m exclusively breastfeeding her.
She sleeps well during the night so far but the days are harder with her. She doesn’t really like being put down, and it’s really hard to get her to sleep during the day. She can seem in a deep sleep but if I move even a mm she’s wide awake, and if I try and put her down to sleep in her moses basket or snuzpod or even at the side of me on the sofa, she’s instantly awake. She sometimes looks really tired but still won’t sleep. I can only get her to sleep by feeding her or if she’s well fed she’ll fall asleep in her car seat in the moving car.
I’d never not feed her responsively but I would like to try and start gently implementing some sort of routine during the day. As much for me for her, I want to help her to sleep better during the day but I also feel best with a routine.
I’d love to hear how you got your BF baby into a routine and what it was and just any advice you have for me please. She’s my PFB and I just want to make sure I’m looking after her well and doing the right thing by her.
