ok, so i just assumed that i would remember/know everything from DD1.. but when it comes to feeding.sleeping, im a bit unsure.

bit of background.. i breastfed DD1 exclusively.. she never had a bottle, and i fed her until she was 2 and a half. i used to feed her to sleep (the main reason that i fed her for so damn long!) my health nurse always mentioned the feed-play-sleep routine, but i didnt really take on that routine, i just thought one day she will just go off to sleep on her own... well that never happened of course!

so, i am determined this time, NOT to go down that track! we are breastfeeding perfectly, the MCHN is happy with her weight gain (she is now 3670g, she was 3040g at birth)
at the start, DD2 would wake, id feed her, change her nappy and feed her again, wrap her (also never wrapped DD!) and put her in bed awake...(she would have been awake about an hour in total) and she was asleep in about 10 mins

now, 2 and a half weeks later, she is awake for about an hour and a half-2 hours. she wakes, i feed, change, cuddle/'play' and wrap her, put her in bed... and it can take anywhere from 15 mins- 45 mins for her to go off to sleep... she doesnt cry of scream, but she makes noises, manahes to get her hands out of her blanket, and will eventually start to cry after about half an hour..

~should i keep her up for longer?
~should i pick her up, comfort her, then put her back in bed? (im worried this will cause a need for being rocked to sleep?)
~we have been using a dummy, which seems to help her to drift off about half of the time, the other half, she screws her face up and spits it out.

during the day, she will sleep for 2-4 hours at a time, but come night time, i *think* its only about 2 hours at a time, and we're up for half an hour each feed (feed, change, wrap, bed.) i will admit that i put her back in bed, and i go back to sleep.. so im not sure houw long it takes her to go off.. lol

sorry if im rambling..i guess what im looking for is a bit of feedback... am i doing the right thing? is this what all babies do? (go off easily sometimes, and other times not..) does anyone have any hints or tips for me?
