Kim ~ I'm no expert but she's so young - too young to be settling herself and be in any routine. That's just my own opinion though. Em falls asleep in my arms, in the carrier, by himself in the rocker or bassinet - it all depends. If you love doing it then do it! Sorry my advice probably isn't really helping. Sorry I couldn't spend more time on this response - Em is still upset with this bloody cold and now I feel absolutely lousy as well.
