Am I starting a bad habit?

DD will be 10 weeks on Saturday. She's not yet sleeping through the night. No matter what time she goes to sleep she will wake up anywhere between 330 and 5. She doesn't need to be fed but she usually won't fall back asleep unless I lay with her in our bed. Am I starting a bad habit? Please tell me no

Re: Am I starting a bad habit?

Not at all... at 10 weeks no. Are you sure she does not want to be fed? Just for your sake, can you try to rock her back to sleep and get her back in the crib/bassinet (should you not want to do the cosleeping thing)? Do you swaddle for sleep, like in your avatar? That may help.

No, at that age, you are truly in survival mode and if she sleeps, then let her do it

And my DS didn't sleep through the night until he was one, so don't feel bad about 10 weeks

Re: Am I starting a bad habit?

I do find she sleeps better when she is swaddled. She has a love/hate relationship with the bassinet. I'm going to try her crib within the next 2 weeks (keep your fingers crossed). I just don't want to start a habit this early and not be able to stop it.

Re: Am I starting a bad habit?

At 10 weeks........no, you're not starting any bad habits. At that age babies need to be comforted and soothed and I am a big proponent of doing whatever is necessary to keep them happy and sleeping at that age. You have months before you need to worry about forming any bad habits. Enjoy the cuddle time while you can.
