Generally you can count the first 6-12 weeks as a loss depending on your baby. Some babies fit into a rhythm early on, and some don't. Neither of mine read the books about fitting into a rhythm or "routine". With my first I was dying to get her into a routine as she fed every 2 hours & I had everyone around me telling me it was wrong (except BB girls!) and I was so confused. After doing some reading I have found that being infant led is the best way to be. I feed on demand and I put Jovie down for a sleep when she starts showing tired signs.

In the early weeks Jovie would only tolerate being awake for 45minutes-an hour but she only slept for short spurts.... but it changed every few weeks. Only now we are getting into a rhythm of 2 sleeps a day, and that doesn't always happen.
