[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP , as other have said you and your baby are doing great for 8 weeks.

Your baby can't truly self soothe yet, that will come and may be as early as the next 4-6 weeks.

What you might try is putting him in his crib right aftter he eats cozy in a sleep sack and pacifier if you use  them.

Instead of rocking you can gently stroke the head and face,  and sing a little song while baby is in crib.

Also don't rush in the minute he makes noise. I do not mean ignore cries, you must always respond to cries, but babies, especially newborns are very noisy sleepers., every sound may not need to be attendted to, so give a little listen before you go in and start poking around.[/quote]

+1 to the rushing in part. I did that way too much with my first and had to realize the hard way I had gotten her used to being picked up at every little noise. With my second I don't go in unless he's really crying, not just making little fussing sounds in his sleep. Babies are loud. [/quote]
