Do you manage to follow all of the best practices for baby care? Some seem impossible!

Does anyone manage to follow all of the recommendations and best practices for baby care?

When my 5 week old baby is fussy and hungry, calm him before breastfeeding? There’s no way to calm him other than breastfeeding.

Follow hunger cues to know when to feed? My baby is constantly sucking on his fingers and rooting, it’s anyone’s guess as to when he’s actually hungry or when it’s just a reflex.

Don’t let baby sleep in the car seat/bouncer/anywhere other than on his back in the bassinet? This is the hardest one because my baby will not sleep by himself in his back 😭 sometimes the car seat is the only way to get him to sleep and if we move him once he’s asleep he wakes up. I’m at my wits end for this one!
