Newmummycas, you have already got so much good advice i'm not sure there is much more i can add.. i just wanted to tell you that you are not alone, i think alot of babies go through an unsettled period around six weeks, your baby just needs you to be there for him and feel loved he dosen't know if your doing anything 'wrong' - there is no such thing, just do what feels right. there are no hard and fast rules. just think of it this way if you wern't giving him the dummy to soothe him what would you be doing?? i think dummies are great, my ds has had one since that age also. personally i would rather be popping the dumy back in his mouth a few times a night than be up with a screaming baby.
i started a bedtime routine at around 4 weeks - now i'm talking basic.. the rest of the day could be all over the place and be absolute *#@* but when 6 o'clock rolled around he was in that bath, dressed (forget massage and all that) taken into the quiet dark room, feed, wrapped, and put into bed. at that age he still woke 2/3 hours later to be feed but at least i knew i could have dinner and it gave me some tiny structure to the day it also helped him know it was 'bedtime' and learn day from night. we still do the same thing now.
just set yourself small goals, don't get too overwhelmed by a 'daily routine' eventually he may put himself into one anyhow, just follow his lead and watch out for those ever changing signs. 1 hour is probably long enough for him to be awake at this age anyhow. and you might find during the day if you get him to sleep 'by any means' (pram, car, with you, sling etc) it will help him to sleep more.. does that make sense?? sleep promotes more good sleep iykwim?
i hope i just didnt make you even more confused... pm me if you have any questions.
i can be such a difficult age, but it really does sound like you are doing a wonderful job.
