Although it is tempting…you don’t want to start bad habits with your newborn because it could take years to undo. Like sleeping in the same bed, or rocking them continuously, walking them around when they cry….the list just goes on. If you don’t mind the thought of these things for years and waking up to rock them in the middle of the night until they are 2 then that is fine. But be prepared to sleep in the same bed for years if you start that one!
