Not at all! My son has been sleeping through the night since 2 weeks old because we started a bedtime routine immediately! He sleeps from 9-5am every night it's amazing! We do bath time, lotion and jammies, eat, swaddle, and rock to sleep
We usually start his routine at like 7:00-7:30 :) some nights he will stay up till 10:00 but that is rare and when he does he will sleep until 6:00 before his first feeding
Do you formula feed or breastfeed? My son is 3 weeks old and we finally have some kind of routine. We feed at 10pm, 12pm, 2am, and 4am sometimes 6am. Then he eats again at 9am. But I exclusively breastfeed.
I bottle feed. He eats about every two hours. Sometimes 3 at night. But he wakes up every 30/45 minutes and stays awake for about an hour, then back to sleep for another 30 minutes. It's so exhausting.
My son slept from 8:45pm-3:30!! :) i was so thrilled even though I constantly checked on him because I'm use to him being up every hour. Just fed, burped and rocked him back to sleep. Let's see how round two goes! I can get use to this sleeping stuff ?
I did the same as the lady above said. Bath time, lotion, pj, bottle & swaddled and rocked him. First time being swaddled at night so maybe that was the trick!
