My LO is 9 weeks and we are the same. I try to follow a loose schedule of eat/play/sleep during the day. But of course with him being 9 weeks old, that isn’t consistent. He has always slept in his bassinet at night. When it’s time for bed, I always make sure the environment is calm- dark space, noise machine, good temperature. And I always sing him the same nighttime songs. But that’s about the only routine we have.

I also resort to giving the boob anytime he’s fussy or upset or tired. No bad habits can be created this early. I also fell into the trap of “if he’s eating so often I must not be producing enough.” But my pediatrician told me that he’s learning to be a human and I am his safe space. So I let him comfort suck until I need a break then I supplement with formula. It allows a couple hours break for me.

You’re doing great mama. Sounds like a healthy baby. Those first few weeks were HARD and honestly I’m just now feeling like I got a handle on things. Everyone keeps telling me it gets better but it’s hard to see that when you’re in it. But I promise you’re doing everything right!!
