When do routines and bad habits start?

I agree with what the others have said - it is way to early to start with any form of set routine. For now, enjoy that sweet baby breath.

As mentioned earlier, you can start off with a set bath "routine". And forming some sort of sleep assosiation eg. whenever you sit to rock / sing him to sleep, pop a blankie or a teddy in his arms, or hold it close to him, so he starts to think that "Okay then, when blankie is in my hand it is sleepy time". You can also say something like "sleepy time sweetheart" so he assosiates those words with bedtime.

later on when he is ready for "official" sleep training, you will already have a few of the signs / signals in place.

Aaaah man, you making me broody EveStyles, Cuddling with a newborn in Winter is the BEST!!!

THANK YOU ladies!!

I absolutely love cuddling my Mr Perfect and today I just kept on telling him "my moomie ladies say I can cuddle you all day long eheheheh"

We have started a bath time routine - bath at 6, massage, feed, change, bed

I agree that babies are born 3 months too early. Imagine no colic.

Congrats!!
I read in one of Sister Lilian's books that a baby cannot be spoiled. If the baby cries, they cry for a reason - not beacause they are naughty or they are already spoilt. They need to be cuddled and loved all the time-this place we call "world" is new and scarry for them and we need to re-assure them that they are safe and loved. I had to rock Micha to sleep every night until 3 months. She was colicy and wouldn't go to sleep any other way...this was the only way to calm her down. From 3 months she all of a sudden didn't want to be rocked. We'd put her in her cot and she would fall asleep on her own. A set bath routine is a great start! You will see everything starts to fall in place - their feeding routine & sleeping routine...it just doesn't happen over night! (Or rather not with us ) Just relax and enjoy every moment - they grow up so fast and before you know it they won't be that dependent on you anymore

I agree with RM - We create the monstors.

Congratulations on your bundle of joy EveStyles. I would say cuddle, cuddle and cuddle don't stress too much about forming bad habits now...
