Hey there,

6w of age is a really common time for growth spurts, so Jensen may be wanting to feed quite frequently right now.

Also, at 6w of age, he's still a bit too little to know how to put himself to sleep, so he needs your help with this for the time being.

About routines - I recently saw a post (Dachlostar I think) who said that baby-led routines as opposed to clock-led routines is the way to go, and I agree whole-heartedly. Routines that have you doing things strictly by what the clock says often don't suit our little individual babies who have their own set of needs, so by watching for, and learning your little one's individual cues and responding to them accordingly, you'll find yourself on the right track in time. It can take a while to work them all out, so don't be too hard on yourself - it's early days yet! I know it's very tiring, but remember growth spurts come and go and some times you will be feeding around the clock and then it settles down. Also, you're still getting to know Jensen, and before you know it, you'll be an expert on what all the different cries/faces mean!

Have you thought about trying some gentle massage after Jensen's bath? Perhaps you could think about doing that if he enjoys it, and perhaps think about other soothing sleepy things you could do specifically when those tired signs become evident. Feeding to sleep isn't a bad thing either and is of great comfort to bubs! You could play some soothing music (e.g. Peace Baby) for sleep, pat/rock/stroke him (often the rhythmical movement is very soothing).

Not sure if this has helped........good luck, and remember you're Jensen's #1!!
