Hi Natalie and congrats on your baby boy!

Sounds like your following your instincts quite well! I found the first 6 weeks so hard and tiring, but its over in a flash! DS is fed to sleep at night and sometimes during the day and he is so happy when he falls asleep I know it must be right
Its perfectly normal for your baby to want to be close to you, its his instinct as well!
You do what feels right for you and your baby cause everyone is different!
I have just finished reading Pinky Mckays sleeping like a baby and found it so very useful! I know its hard to find a spare moment to do anything in the first few weeks but its a great read!

Hope this helps a little good luck!
