We will, at the right time. Six weeks is too early for that. The one thing that the books agree on is that kids this young do not understand the world enough to soothe themselves yet. If parents want to get any sleep they have to teach the child when it is time to sleep and how to calm down. As soon as I see yawning or other signs that Lucas is tired we go to a quiet place, normally his room, I swaddle him, tell him he is tired, and soothe him. It akes about 30 minutes for him to fall asleep. Right now the focus is helping him connect the feeling of tired with the notion of sleep.
In a few months we work on self soothing.
