baby awake all night

[missemilyjade]

hiya can anyone help with any advice tips etc i have an 11 week old ds and he ia awake every night from 9pm to 3 4am refuses to sleep then wakes every 3 hours for a feed he also refuses to wake properly until luncb time just wakes up feeds and falls back to sleep ive tried to keep him awake during the morning but he just sleeps. he doesnt nap throughout the day if he does only sleeps for 30 mins max. i wondered if there's anything i can do to try and get him to sleep earlier if anyone has any advice thanks

Hi try establishing a routine? To begin wake at 7am, feed, nap at 9am (they may go earlier). Feed at 10-11. To get a longer nap try doing it in buggy on walk at first. Then another sleep in afternoon, try for two hours! 30-40 mins is a nap anything over is proper more restorative sleep. Baby will probably need a short 30 min nap around 4.30 to take them through to bedtime at 7pm. Try to put baby down drowsy but awake and allow to settle themselves. Being wide awake during night can be a sign of over tiredness, babies this age need at least 3 hours sleep during day. If you can establish a good routine it will help you know if baby is hungry, tired or other as you can eliminate what you have done. I’m awake at 4.30 with a 6 month old probably because I can’t follow my own advice due to older children. I’d love to be in a routine it made my life so much easier with s content happy baby! Good luck. If you stick to the 7am wake ups and work from there it will fall into shape!
