my daughter is 2 weeks old and i just have a few issues that i would appreciate your thoughts on.

1. at times hannah has trouble getting to sleep and after hours of on and off breastfeeding, rocking, etc she finally falls asleep but then decides to do a poo. should i wake her up to change her or just leave it until she wakes up. (if i wake her up to change it it is another hour of the above before falling asleep again.)

2. all the sleepless nights have recently caught up with me and i have resorted the last two nights to putting hannah into the bed next to me to sleep. she settles almost instantly and sleeps soundly for 2 hours when i do this, yet when she is in the basinet next to our bed she is fidgety and wakes up every 10 or so minutes. should i try to get her to sleep in the basinet or just let her and us get some sleep by allowing her in our bed. (i am thinking about the SIDS risks here, also good sleeping habits)

3. she seems to fall asleep during the day only if i hold her until she is in a deep sleep, she just puts her mouth on my nipple and doesnt suck but falls asleep. how do i discourage this, or should i discourage this, as i cant be holding her every time she needs to sleep. i want her to be able to self-sooth herself.

4.sometimes my boobs feel soft and empty and she gets really frustrated trying to get milk. even when they are firm and full after about 5-10 mins of feeding they feel empty again. arent babies meant to feed for 30mins or so? she is only really feeding for between 5 - 15 minutes each feed is this normal?

well thats about it for now,
sorry it is so long. i just feel sometimes that i dont know what i should and shouldnt be doing, or what is normal or not normal for a 2 week old.

thanks
