How can I get my baby to sleep during the night? or is that impossible

i would only up it a little bit before bed

Awe so tiny :) when my son was that small he still woke up every three or four hours sometimes two I know how exhausting it is.

@rockysmommy, he still weighs 7lbs 6oz

How much does he weigh? Usually when they're 10-12 pounds they can sleep longer because they don't need to eat as much.

that young they are supposed to wake up often and eat. but my baby is 3 weeks now and only wakes up once @ 5am. at night I give him a warm bath and a warm bottle and dress him warmly and swaddle him. he's still newborn to so I'm sure his schedule will change to but idk

That's normal mines was like that too but I was nursing every hour and a half till he was almost three

@allyk.xmommy, how do you know when to up his formula feed (without wasting milk)

@novaskyy, I formula feed now since I left the hospital. he wakes up every 2 to 4 hours. he's a good baby. I was just curious. @kparis I'm enjoying every second of it. I just wanted to make sure I have him on the "right" schedule lol

my son woke up at midnight, 3 am, and at 6 am. by 6 he was up for the day besides a few naps. I would keep him awake from like 5pm to like 9 or 10. give him a bath, then get him warm and toasty. I would then feed him one big meal, even if he started to fall asleep I would wake him. then burp him and rock him to sleep. after doing that routine for a while he finally started to sleep through the night

I know it's exhausting. Hang in there and try to soak in the 3am cuddles they are over too quickly!

Well formula?

@amira93, okay. thank you.

Yeah for the first month or two you're going to be waking up every 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours cause that's how often they have to feed. Do you breast feed or bottle feed?

@kparis, okay thanks . just asking.

That young, there is no schedule. At least for me there wasn't. He just got a schedule last wk and he'll be 3 months on Thursday

They aren't supposed to sleep through the night that young. Their bellys are still tiny & empty quickly .

@novaskyy, 1 week & 4 days

How old?
