I'm a first time mom and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice to help a newborn sleep more at…

@cubanese, Okay he really don't get up much throughout the night,

I felt horrible last night cause I fed him and changed him then I laid him back down in the bassinet and he was still crying and I have no idea why.

Okay thank you..

My daughter is 6 weeks and she just got out of that a week ago and now only wakes up once at night. I keep her awake longer during the day. I don't wake her up but when she wakes up in the day I try activities with her like bouncing her and exercise her legs while she lays on her back.

My daughter slept all day and would get up 4-5 times a night when she was a newborn. It's DEFINITELY gets better as they get older, she's now almost 9 months and doesn't get up AT ALL at night and wakes up at 8:30 every morning. Definitely give it time. 🙂 it will get better.

@craft.brooke.e, that's what I was doing today when he woke up was talking to him.

@pelime97, thank you

What i did was around 8 pn i turned the lights off.. spoke quietly, tried hard not to be excitable until morning, but around 7 or 8 i would make the house loud and turn on lights.. also im nursing snd its stuff in your milk that makes them sleepy..something about it matchesnyour carcadium rhythm

@lilfree16, we have a fan we have on a night and I have a night light that's by his bassinet I moved it cause it was brighter but I wonder if it bugs him or makes him think its day time.

maybe!! Give it a try... i also bedshared became i was tryin to get breastfeeding down lol

He slept on my chest the other night but people say not to do the cause it's dangerous. But I don't see a problem in him sleeping on my chest.

my daughter only wakes up once maybe twice a night. I have a bedtime routine for her. I know it's hard at the beginning but it does get better. Try to establish a routine and that will make things easier.

Could I get your advice on how to establish a routine?

My pediatrician gave me an article about establishing sleep patterns. The most helpful hint was don't let them sleep during the day more then 3 hrs at a time. Waking to feed every three is a good way to establish day time.

@monicafischer86, that's good to hear cause I been making sure to wake him up every three hours to feed him then I try to keep him up for Alil

@hayleeharber by six weeks she was sleeping through the night and I never stopped with that rule. She has slept ten to twelve hrs a night by four months

Awesome thank you
