Overtired baby

[nervous84]

My 7 week old baby seems to resist sleep and ends up overtired and unsettled. He gives sleep cues such as rubbing his eyes plus his eyes look tired but he'll start to drift off then resist it. It's not all the time but quite often. He then ends up unsettled in the evening and can't sleep.

I don't want to have a completely quiet house or rock him as I want him to get used to sleeping without being rocked and with noises around.

Any ideas?

He’s so tiny still, if rocking works, I’d just go without that. Have a google of the fourth trimester

I agree, don't worry about rocking him if that's what works. You won't be rocking him forever.

You won't be rocking him forever. that’s true enough! I can’t imagine how I’d go about rocking the teen although sometimes it’s nice to remember the times I could
