Have I ruined sleep forever?

[Caref08]

My baby has always been difficult to get to sleep. We introduced the sling first which went well, then dummy and white noise for night time in her next to me. Over time this has progressed to needing white noise, dummy, swaddle, movement for all naps and to go to bed. She is 10 weeks old. She only feeds to sleep during her overnight feeds, never in the day. Only sleeps in her pram if the above is in place, only sleeps in car if the above is in place and I’m next to her.
Do I need to try and break these habits?! Does anyone have any suggestions on nice books / workshops or anything I can read to understand more about sleep?
I understand it’s 4th trimester so this might be normal I just want to check I’m not setting us up to fail.
Thank you

Nope definitely not ruined! At 4 months there's a huge sleep regression where their sleep dramatically changed and tbh anything prior to that is fine and won't make too much difference.

I did get rid of dummy at 4months to avoid it being a permanent crutch though! White noise we kept.

Absolutely everything with a baby is a phase. It will soon change

forever is a long time and no one can mess up that badly

Thank you for the reassurance! I saw something about needing to remove sleep props after newborn on Instagram and panicked - should have known to trust my instinct. If it’s working for now I will keep going!!

Yes. Let's talk about your new family's sleep by Lyndsey Hookway and The gentle sleep book by Sarah Ockwell-Smith.

Sorry but this post made me laugh a bit as it's so true... sleep isn't ruined as in a few weeks it's going to get so much worse 😆

Anyway, PP's are right, do what works for you in the moment as everything will change anyway. One day DD loved her dummy, the next she screamed blue murder if it went anywhere near her and not touched one since. She was never bothered about white noise and she hated swaddling from day one.

Parenting advice on Instagram is almost always absolute nonsense! They just have to come up with something new to say so they don't run out of content. You're doing great! DD was very much like how you described snd at 22 months she sleeps just fine and with very little intervention

I got rid of everything by time she about 10months so no night light , white noise , dummy and she never had a comforter as she plays with her hair to go to sleep oh and always shut her door at night. She is now three and has never got out of bed BUT does shout for us if she needs us. So much easier to get rid of it all so you don't go have to keep resettling and they resettle themselves .. but all children are different so you'll find your own right way .
