Your baby is way too young to pick up any bad habits just yet. Babies do not understand the concept of "trying it on", regardless of what some hard nosed professional or expert may say. If baby likes the music, then stick with it. There is plenty time to worry about habits later on - just do what you can to get baby - and you - off to sleep.

Baby will wake thru' the night for a feed until he is about 6/7 months old (illnesses/virus' may extend this time). Your baby sounds like it is doing very well, so don't worry about it too much!!

Lots of mothers pray that their baby will sleep thru the night right from the word "go". Unfortunately, this very rarely happens and us ordinaries just have to accept that babies wake every 3/5 hours day and night, just to be fed, changed and cuddled. Don't be tempted to add cereal or anything like that to baby's last bottle, as this - more often than not - upsets their tummy, as they have more to digest and they end up not sleeping well at all.
Good Luck.
