Oh, and the best way to learn your baby's cues is to stay close, lots of skin to skin contact, cuddles, look him in the eyes, talk to him. It's like a dance you're both still learning the steps to. Keep him close, learn his language, and you'll get it. Often when you stay like this, baby just gets it, will sleep when they need to, in your arms, next to you in bed, in the sling, and you don't need to worry at all about 'getting him to sleep' because he will just do it with you there.
