Best Books on sleep routine?

[Italianshark]

My babies 6 weeks old and sleeps like a gooden. Always get a minimum of 4 hours solid sleep, sometimes up to 6 hrs before a feed then goes back down. As we creep closer to the 3 month stage I'm wondering what the best routine is for getting her ready for hopefully sleeping through the night as she gets older etc.

Been looking at books but don't like the idea of the strict ones. Have been told to look into the 'love matters' book...

Anyone have any advice?

You don't need any books, sounds like you're doing well already :) everything she is doing is perfectly normal and babies sleep generally goes up and down so I wouldn't worry yourself with following a particular method

Will it just be a case of one night we put her down and then wake up at 7:30 and think holy shit? I thought it took some serious preparation 🤣!

It's more likely you'll have periods of that and then waking much more frequently again, but they're all different. You don't need to sleep train if they don t need it, and lots of people don't agree with sleep training anyway. Just do the calm bedtime routine, always the same, and see how you go!

I recommend Gina Ford - very structured routine (ignore the feeding bits apart from just before bed time and late feed).

Nothing wrong with craving structure. Ds bedtime has been 7 from birth; of course at first this was an ambition, but by time he was 4 weeks it was a reality, it backtracks occasionally but it is Great having adult time in the evenings!
