Thought I might ask the thread. Part the first - I'm a proud father of a five week old baby (5 weeks today, in fact) - having returned to work in the past few weeks, the wife has taken over primary care giving. She's not finding time to sleep at all from when I leave at half seven until when I return at half six. Baby C won't sleep at all unless held for ages beforehand. and when baby C drops off, its for about a half hour at a time. Is five weeks too early to start the "leave baby alone so that it knows it has to sleep by itself" routine? Part the second - wifey's really up on breast feeding. coupled with the lack of sleep meaning she's walking around like a zombie at the moment. I'm doing what I can, nappy changes, winding, taking care of the baby in the evening so that she can sleep. I'd ideally like her to start expressing so that for the evening feeds, she can sleep uninterrupted. She's unsure of doing this, because of the bond of breastfeeding. Am I being too pushy by asking her to think about expressing so I can help with the evening feeds?
