Getting close: A 7 week old baby may be getting closer to sleeping a long stretch at night. Usually between 8 to 12 weeks we see babies sleeping a stretch like 6 to 8 hours. Try putting her down on her back, sleepy, yet not quite asleep and see if she can settle herself down. The ability to self soothe is important for her to learn. Some babies do just need a vigorous cry before they fall asleep, also.
