To wake the baby?

[Aliveinwanderland]

Had a lot of advice from feeding board about DS who is a poor sleeper st night. He is 12 weeks and usually sleep 7-10pm but then after that can wake every 1-2 hours to be fed.

We struggle with a day time routine because of going out to classes and activities which make it hard to do the same thing at the same time.

He has had a half hour nap this morning around 10:30 and has now been asleep from 1:15 to 3:30. Shall I wake him? He is going to be cranky as hell later as he won't manage from now until bed at 7pm without another sleep, but there isn't really time to fit in another one later!

Why don't babies come with instruction manuals (that they have read themselves!) so you know what to do with them!

So... do I wake him? Or let him nap for longer as he obviously needs the sleep!

DS hates being held. He will tolerate being walked round the house but won't just be held unless he is feeding.

We put him to bed around 7pm because by 6:30 he is shattered and struggling to stay awake. However if he is still going we leave him up longer.

All he has done so far today is grumble, cry or sleep! He woke up at 6 and fed, slept again until 8. By 9:15 he fell asleep when I put him down to get dressed. Woke again at 10am, fed, cried, back to sleep in the pram at 11 and is still asleep now. Something must be bothering him as he is usually awake more than this in the day time.
