Night sleeping habit

Dalin

My son is 7 weeks (8 weeks this Sunday) and I’d like to introduce good night sleeping habits now. Is that too soon? How and what can I do?

At the moment, he still wakes up between 1.5h to 3h at night time. I’d like him to start sleeping longer. I’ve read up on three sleeping training methods and the one I like most is me calming/putting to near-sleep stage then put him in his bassinet.

I’ve been trying this for the last 3 nights and been failing every night and resort to nursing till his asleep. Help pls?

This is what we’ve been doing in the last 3 days which we have been failing:

1. Nursing

2. Bathing

3. Swaddling

4. Rocking/swaying while humming lullaby till he shows signs of drowsy

5. Put down in bassinet

Then he just cries!! Or sleeps for 2-5 minutes then full on cries again.
