All of my kids were tummy sleepers and I worried lots! It’s one of those very personal deciscions we as moms must make (with lots of praying). As for the not liking to be left alone don’t worry to much. A little fussing is ok. I say that lightly. I think when they are this little they need our reassurance that we will be there for them. I think it bolsters their confidence and security. I don’t think it’s manipulation on their part although I know some would disagree. Trying to get her on a scheduale and keep her on it might be a little rough at first. Because after all she is your first. I would recomend a sling type - kangaroo- holder and keep her in it to be near you for the first few months until she is awake more of the time. And then it’s important to have a little tummy time to strengthen those muscles. Mine also slept quite a lot in side to side swings. Swing was always moving oh so slow! I wish I knew when I had my first how important it is to impart that sense of security. With my first one I had bought into this theory of let them cry it out. What a mistake! He still has issues. Do what feels right. Kind of like weight loss. We have to listen for that still small voice that is trying to guide us and sometimes we are to busy to hear it. I think it’s great that you are reaching out for help and you’re keeping the doctor informed. You are not alone. I wish I was closer to help you out! She’s such a doll baby!! Sending her lots of kisses….xoxoxoxoxoxoxox and a big hug for mom ((((Lassie))))
