Hi,

im looking for some advice or guidance on whether I’m doing the right thing. Currently my 7 week old refuses to sleep or sleep very long due to being very alert and wanting to see what’s going on!

the only way I have found to stop him getting overtired is to put him in his Moses basket in his cot in the dark with a monitor on him to keep an eye on him!

if he is downstairs he with us, he is awake constantly!

im just not sure if im doing the right thing but we have the monitor on him with video and go up and check on him regularly!

I found around that age, my DS also needed to be in a dark quiet room. I watched Netflix on my phone with subtitles so I could be in the same room. You ideally shouldn't let him sleep alone for long periods of time.
