Hi and welcome to the BW website.  At 2 weeks, your lo will not be on an exact EASY, but more just learning the concepts of E A and falling asleep independently.

At two weeks of age, your lo could typcially be feeding every 2-3 hours.  Activity time consists of a basic nappy change and then down for a nap.  Most lo's this age are not awake much at all, so can expect them to be sleeping a huge chunk of the day.

Thanks for reply.
Just A few more quich questions!
1) taking baby 30 mins or so to fall asleep for naps but quite happy to just lie there.is this the norm?
2)during the night waking and cooing for up to 30 minutes before crying to be fed.Do I fed immediately or do i wait for the cry?
3)If very fussy and not falling asleep independently what is the best technique for a bay this age?Do i pat/sh in the crib or do i lift him up?

Yes I do think it is normal for your lo to take a while to fall asleep.  You can always try and intervene and do some pat/shhh to help your lo fall asleep.

At two weeks, I always fed my lo when she woke, that way she did not get OT in the middle of the night and battle to fall alseep.

If your lo is fussy, and not falling asleep, you and pick your lo up and do pat/shh with your lo over your shoulder to help calm down, and then when baby has calmed down you an try and put down in the cot again, and carry on with Pat / Shhh
