it is then impossible to get him back to sleep even though he is visibly shattered and has a wide eyed "glassy" look!. He is also very unsettled in the second half of the night - goes down at 7, wakes about 10ish and 1ish for a feed but straight back to sleep, but from about 2.30-3.00 he is awake every 45 mins to an hour and takes a while to settle back to sleep. Have tried feeding him and/or winding him but that never seems to be the issue - just wondered if anyone else had any ideas, and also when does it start to get a bit easier!!!

when dd was that age I found that she didn't sleep for long after her night feed - just enough to let me drift off then she was wide awake and shouting!! It took me a while to work out her day time naps as well - eventually she settled into a pattern of needing a nap after around 1.5 hours of being awake. Howver with a 3 week old I think you just have to go with teh flow and it will eventually all become clear. Good luck and enjoy your wee boy!
