How long to get back to sleep?

Question

How long does it take your babe to get back to sleep after nursing? Mine is 4 weeks old and wakes somewhere between 3-4 am to feed. It takes only 20 minutes or so to nurse, but over an hour to get her back to sleep. At that point I have another kiddo to get up at 6 and the baby again eats right after that. I go back to work in 2 weeks and am not sure how to make it from 3 am on with no sleep!

Answer

I guess I’m lucky in the sense that she either falls asleep at the boob and stays asleep when I put her down, or she puts herself back to sleep if she’s drowsy when I put her down. 
Does your baby cry if she’s put down? If not, I would just put her back to bed and let her self soothe. Gotta start at some point.
