Hello,

I have just had my little bub,she is one week old and it is our third night at home. Bub is a great feeder/sleeper during the day,but as soon as night time hits she becomes restless.I can get her off to sleep,only for her to wake up crying in 5 min. The only way she has gotten to sleep the last 2 nights is because DH has let bub suck his finger until she falls asleep,and then stays asleep.

Does this means she wants a dummy?I didn't want to give her one as she is a breastfed bub and I didn't want nipple confusion. Will sucking of DH's finger affect the way she breastfeeds?

How do you get your newborn to sleep of a night?
