I agree with what the other girls have said........go with your gut instinct and what works for you and Hayley!
In those early weeks, whatever works for you and Hayley is best.....if nursing her to sleep helps her sleep well, I'd say go for it!
I know lots of women who do the wrapping/patting thing, but mostly from an older age? (Say, 2 months?)
Olivia hated being wrapped, and didn't sleep in a traditional cot until just recently, so we never went down that road.
I do like the sleep, feed, play routine, but I always added another step and gave her a feed before sleep again, so ours became sleep, feed, play, feed!
I know "they" always say don't nurse/feed a baby to sleep for fear of setting them up with "bad habits", but we still do it and Olivia is nearlya year old.
Although I don't feed her to sleep as such, I give her a feed, and then we have a cuddle whilst she is still awake, and make sure she has a burp, and then pop her down.
