Posted this in sleep too, but think this section might be busier:
DS2 is coming up to 7 weeks old. When we brought him home he slept everywhere we plonked him during the day, for long stretches, no matter what noise. I remembered from ds1 that that would change and sure enough, he doesn't like being put down now anymore and naps in the sling most days. BUT, I don't remember the nights getting worse. DS1 was a terrible sleeper, but even then things seemed to get slowly, slowly better. At first ds2 slept 3 and 2 hour stretches at night (we even had a 5 1/2 stretch at 3 weeks), waking up at a very considerate 8am. That started shortening to 1 1/2 to 2 hour stretches over the last week or so, and last night it was every hour, and then awake for a good 40 mins, having to be soundly asleep before I could put him in cot. Any advice anyone?
Should say, depending on when he wakes up in the aft/early evening, ds2 is in bed by 7 - 8.30. He has a bath, is swaddled, fed and cuddled and goes down very happily and easily. He sleeps til I dream feed him between 10 and 11. He had then been sleeping for 2 or 3 hours before first next feed, but last night he was up from midnight hourly until 6ish.
