Welcome to BellyBelly and congratulations on the birth of your daughter. I'm Sarah (or Celsie as I'm known on here). My little boy Caeleb is 3 weeks old today. We find that he settles best when we've got ALL the wind up. Otherwise, he fusses and has a sore tummy, which isn't good him or us, as none of us get any sleep.
Having a really full belly of milk helps a lot too, as does wrapping and a clean nappy like mum2bee suggested.
I don't feed in total darkness, as it would be too difficult. I just have a bedside light on. I don't talk to him at night time and I try and keep it as quiet as possible. During the day, we don't go out of our way to be quiet and go about as we would normally do. We also try and keep him a wake a little longer, so he can try and distinguish day from night.
