Lo is just over five weeks old. She is not a great napper but her night sleep is pretty good- usually one longish stretch, between 4 and 6 hours, and another two hours and change after that usually. She has slept as long as 7 hours at a time.

Tonight she stared waking earlier than I thought she should, and since I knew she had eaten a lot before bed and is capable if sleeping 6-7 hours without eating,, I tried just rocking her for a minute in the rock and play in the dark before picking her up to eat. Lo and behold, it worked- for over and hour! She would start fussing and grunting, more than the usual I'm starting to wake up noises, it was about to turn into cries, when I would rock and she would settle herself again. I finally picked her up and it was almost seven hours again.

So, she doesn't need to be up at 4-5 hours to eat, at least it seems. But this way I was still up to rock her anyway. How do I encourage her to resettle herself without my help? I'm not going to full on sleep train or anything, she is only five weeks. She's still sleeping in our room for now but we are open to moving her soon, but her room is on the opposite side of the apt. She's double swaddled at night and doesn't usually break out of it until morning.
