Evening all..
I need some ACTUAL sense / advice from you ladies as I'm not getting any from my HVs
My DS is 13 weeks old. He feeds on 7oz every 4 hours during the day. We put him to bed at about 8 and leave him to settle alone, which he does well and has done since about 6 weeks. By that time he is practically comatosed and can fall asleep on the bottle but does manage the 7oz. He has gradually slept longer to the point where he is waking at 3 am or thereabouts for a feed and is RAVENOUS!
I have questions that the HVs wont give me a straight answer to:
Is this normal for a 13 week old?
How do I get him to sleep through? Am I expecting too much of him in sleeping through at this age?
When should I be putting him to sleep alone in his room all night? (we put him in his room in the moses basket and then bring him in with us when we go to bed about 11).
I should add he's a big lad - 14lb 11oz.
I'd really appreciate your help and advice. The general HV comments are that they all go at their own pace, which for me, isnt really helping with my 1st time mum questions and worries.
