Should I stop this habit now? 4 week old....

Posted by mom of 2 on January 28, 2001 at 11:44:39:

Question.... My 4 week old daughter has been doing great at going to sleep on her own being lain down in the bassinett if she's semi-sleepy. Thing is - she needs to have her music on to do so. If she starts to stir at all and I turn the music back on she'll go right back to sleep. Even from a crying state she will do this. Should I continue to do this? Is she really sleeping well if this has to be done or if she wakes that easily? The last couple of mornings - I have turned the music back on several times within a couple hours (from about 5-6:30am). Should I just let her wake up? She does this at naptime as well. The biggest span of sleep she is taking is from about 9-10p until 2-3am at this stage... basically 5 hours. Then I feed her a bottle and then she goes back to sleep - but only for about 2-3 hours. Any suggestions on many of the questions I asked is greatly appreciated....
