Hi All,

Just wondering if it is normal to take up to an hour to settle a 4 week old baby. Sometimes he falls asleep in about 10 mins but other times it can take 1 hour. We have to rock him in our arms as he wont fall asleep himself in the bassinet. We try and keep to the feed play sleep routine of 1 hour or just over, but it is now stretching out to 2 hours and then he sleeps 45 minutes as he is hungry. Does anyone else take this long to settle their babies? Am I trying to put him to bed too early. How long should I have him up for before putting him to bed, he seems happy to stay up but I don't want him to get overtired.

thanks
