To think that if you are lucky enough to have a baby that sleeps...

[IcouldstillbeJoseph]

you should be a little tactful about the amount of sleep you are getting when talking to the sleep-deprived! My DD is 9 wks old and (just like DS was) is very unsettled, especially overnight.
I have just returned from a playgroup and had to endure being told about how much sleep others are getting. With not a whiff of apology or compassion in their voice!
I was also treated to 2 wonderful gems of advice:
"you're very calm about this (DD was currently doing her usual screaming, feeding, screaming) if that was my baby I'd be convinced I was doing something wrong"

"you should definitely stop breast feeding her"

(Just to add, her weight gain is completely fine)

Also should mention mine are darlings from birth til about 2 ad a half,then they are monkeys til they are about 4 ad a half 5 ad its all lovely again.

It seems to go lovely-moaner-naughty-lovely :-)

TheBigJessie lots of babies sleep more than 6 hours without needing to feed and gain the right amount of weight but many don't and may need waking on advice by doctors - just one of those things I guess.

On the other hand - DS1 didn't need feeding in the night, we tried to feed him but he didn't want it-he just didn't sleep!
