Hi there - Please help!! Ds is 9 weeks. From birth he was on a nice 4 hour routine ( was premature and hospital enforced it, we thought yipeeeee.) As he has got bigger, we have moved him onto a 3 hour feeding routine during the day, however he sleeps ALL THE TIME in between feeds and I have to wake him for every feed. If we get 30 mins of eyes open and play we are amazed and sometimes we get no play time at all.
However at the strike of 10-11pm he is Mr Perky and Cute, stays awake until 2am, then back to Baby dream land for the rest of the next 18hours.
Right now, we are waking him at about 10.30ish, but he then wants a 2nd feed at 1am before sleeping until 4 (then I have to wake him for the rest of the day for every feed). How do I get him to get perky earlier??
I have tried everything to keep him awake in the day including feet tickling, baths, etc etc.
Any tips??? People keep telling me to give him formula for his last feed to "send him off again"
