sleeping

[jazmine89]

How do i get my 8 week old baby to sleeping past his feed at 8pm? He wakes at two then five and takes him ages to srttle back down!

Sleeping 8pm until 2am is a very good stretch of sleep for an 8 week old.

Perhaps re-setting your expectations to something more realistic would be worthwhile?

I assume you are feeding when he wakes?

Have you tried a dummy?

At 8 weeks most babies are feeding every 2-3 hours so as the PP has said maybe re-setting your expectations would be worthwhile.

Sounds like hes doing fab only waking up that much really. Keep doing what your doing hes only tiny at 8 weeks it dosent last long enough. I know not much help but everybody deserves abit of reasurance xx

Hes gets fed every 4 hourly and takes 5 oz.... do u think i shoukd change the routine? Hes happy in this routine though.....

He is a very contented baby ??

Im no expert but id say leave him. As he grows and starts to take more than his routine will change. But if hes happy then id leave him a few more weeks x

Yes think i will... hes 12 pound at the moment aswell so hes puttung on the weight ?

He actually went to bed lastnight woke up at quarter past three frim eight and sleot until seven xx

awh so only woke up once thats fab! mine are 6month and still up once x

My daughter was like that.... shes five in april and still doesnt need a lot of sleep!x

2am and 5 is pretty normal mine was the same, baby will drop the 2am eventually but not quite yet

He is starting to extendx

He goes to bed at 8 but how do i start getting him to bed at 7 without it interferring with the school run at three x

As he will go 7, 11,3,7 xx

At 8 weeks I wouldn't worry about a bed time - can you keep him down with you until you go to bed?

Yes well me and my partner are early birds anyway we are in bed by nine ourselves so at the moment he goes up after his feed 8... i suppose they cant really have a bedtime until they are on a proper diet can they?
