My 6 week old breastfed DS is sleeping 7-8 hours a night but isn’t falling asleep until 1-2am! He’s fusses on and off the breast all evening so I never have an evening to just relax. He will sleep this length of time then wake up to feed then back to sleep for another 2 hours in the morning then another 3 hour sleep in the afternoon then he’s awake until early hours. Obviously it’s great I’m getting a long stretch of sleep and a lie in but I would prefer him to sleep earlier and wake up earlier so I can actually have a few hours in the evening to myself and the morning. I’ve tried early bath / feed and he will fall asleep then wake up 5 min later. Am I asking to much wanting to get a 6 week old into a routine? Or is there something I can do to move bedtime earlier?
