My DS is 7 weeks old and will not sleep in evenings. He isn't sleeping much during the day either really. I think he had a growth spurt at 5 weeks and then went from sleeping all the time to very little. He's also started crying a lot so from 6 to 10 we are either consoling him and trying to get him to settle or he is wide awake. We've tried having a bit of structure with feed, bath then some shush pat in room but the only thing that really works is letting him suck little finger and that doesn't always send him off. Once he sleeps he wakes every 3 hours and it's reasonably ok to get him back to sleep after feed. Anyway, is this normal? Will it pass? Any tips on making him sleepy. Think i'm reading baby whisperer too much and worried about making him dependent on sucking and worried he's not getting enough sleep. Thanks.
