Coping or soothing mechanisms

[Hoping4peanut]

My 4 week old can only fall asleep at the breast. She has no other methods that work. She refuses the binky.

How do I teach her other methods to sleep? I worry I will never be able to leave her sued right now even if I express and have husband do a bottle now and then.

I feel like she is too young to cry it out...

Sounds pretty normal to be.

Can you put her down after she has fallen into a deep sleep?

Its very normal for her age and she won't always be like that. My LO would only feed to sleep at that age but he actually stopped altogether at about 9weeks and it came as a shock to me that I suddenly had to look for new ways to get him to sleep!

At this age it's very normal I really wouldn't stress, breast milk and breastfeeding is designed to help babies sleep and soothe them it won't be like this forever don't worry about bad habits, be grateful for your magic trick

She's only tiny. Let her have what makes her calm.

They're little for such a short time and it's very good to help establish your supply.
