sleep - what is that again?

[Islamum]

baby doesnt sleep much - 5 weeks old and will be awake for 10 hours straight, and always wakes up when put in crib. will nap for 10 mins then wide awake. any ideas?

Is that a 24 hour not much sleep thing or just in the daytimes?

Oh dear. Poor you. My DS was like that.

is baby grumpy when awake...like has he/she got enough sleep. I'd just suggest that for me swaddling DD worked a whole lot. just an ordinary blanket and a nice dark room OH and with either brest pads (to smell mommy close) or your t-shirt...anything like that.
DD is 15months and still HAD to have daddys t-shirt everywhere we go, car, mall, dinner. its a must. kinda cute too.

I'll try my t-shirt. Generally she sleeps more at night, which is something, she dosn't seem grumpy if she has a morning and fternoon nap, but if she misses those she gets grizzly.

Tightly swaddling did the trick most of the time with mine. Although they did go through the unsettled evening routine.
