Hi,
Basically i have a 5 week old who is mostly a good sleeper- usually gives us a 4-5 hour block between 9-1\2am however when she wakes for a feed she wont go back in her moses basket- i haven't been minding and am letting her fall back to sleep on my chest and I tend to doze for an hour or so but I am finding that she wakes more regularly on my chest than in the basket but seems happier. I know i'm lucky getting 6 -7 hrs per night but there are some nights- like tonight when she doesn't sleep for the block tonight it only lasted 2 1/2 hrs so the rest of the night was a nightmare!
As she is so small i've been happy to indulge this but I am worried it
a) my not be safe- due to all the warnings the medical profession give about sharing a bed
b) perhaps its setting her in the wrong sleep habits (I have just been asuming she's to small to learn and it will be easier to change later on)
So my questions are-
any tips for getting her to resettle in basket?
should i just go with her flow at the mo?
When do you try to establish sleep routine- we have regular bath bed time now but i mean about where she sleeps
When does it get better? I need to see some light
