My little boy is only five days old today and he is such a fuss to get off to sleep at the moment. During the day he can sleep for four hour at a time but on a night he is up every two hours! So tired!
Aw we are going to keep trying to see how long he'll sleep. Eventually he will get there but can't believe he slept so long. Proud mama moment!! @charliebrown89 xx
Melody at first woke once during the night which i didn't mind and then one day i woke up at 6:30 and she hadn't. i was like "oh god! is she dead?!" 😂 i panicked had to go check she was still breathing lol. she sleeps from about 9/10 till 7 now xx
@charliebrown89, thank you for the advice! We tried your idea first and its worked a treat! We was up for 2 and a half hours during the day. Then had a big bottle before bed and was asleep from 11:30 til 4am! Xx
a warm bath with me around 9.30 ish seems to help with establishing a bedtime rountine. warm bath (she hates it too cool) change feed and then wrapped in a blanket and down. did it from the 4th night after a couple of unsettled nights and she slept 10.30 ish until 3 ish xx
newborns can get confused with nighttime and daytime. try and keep him stimulated more in the day so he doesn't sleep as long. that's what i did with mine and she slept through at 4 weeks. xx
