Hi there!
Im a new single mum (new to BB also) and my little boy is 8 weeks this week. I was wondering if any experienced mothers out there could give me any tips; My boy currently sleeps in a hammock style bassinet next to my bed. He is breast fed and doesnt show any signs of even almost sleeping through yet, feeding every 3 hrs, last night he woke up every 2 hrs even. I know all babies are different when they start sleeping longer and I try not to take all the books I read too much to heart so Im not too concerned about this (maybe a little tired but thats apart of the job right!? ) but back to my question...does any one have any advise for me about moving him into his cot, which is in his own room. I have put him down in the cot for a few day naps but he wouldn't settle at all. I know that I'm better off getting him used to it now than say in another 4 months when he will take longer to get used to it. Does this sound about right? Anyway..any stories or advise will be greatly appreciated...books telling me to do this and that and he should be doing this and that by now only stress me out more and I much rather hear about other mothers experiences first hand. Thanks heaps in advance. x
