Post by: paulak412 on September 08, 2016, 17:07:46 pm
Hi everyone I have a 9 year old who was due do bad habits and special needs was awful and self soother and still is. Any ways I have a nearly 6 week old girl who is combi fed but mostly breast fed. She is feeding every 2-3 hours round the clock.  She uses the dummy sometimes. Anyway I am wanting to develop some good habits early on so if u have tips can u let me know xx

Congratulations!!!!

At 6 weeks feeding every 2/3 hours is pretty good!!   A little A time between eating and sleeping can help develop good habits and maybe working toward one nap in the basket/cot every day can help develop good sleep habits too xx

I'm not gonna try sleep training her yet she's too young.  She will drop off on her own in the crib or cry cot pram but wakes up again after a few min and can't get over. I'll pick her up a few seconds put her down and she dies it again though she doesn't cry just lies for ages til she gets annoyed bless her.

I agree 6 weeks they are just starting to maybe get into their own little routine. Just try and get at least one good nap anyway you can. holding, swinging, rocking. And then watch the rest of the day for tired signs etc. She might just still need help falling asleep. She's young.

Agreed. Mine both settled much better from 4/5 months. Before  that we just did what we needed to to make sure they didn't end up ridiculously OT
