Babies' routine

Angel21 · Jul 6th, 2009, 07:45 AM

My baby boy is coming up to 3 weeks old, and for the past 4 or 5 nights decided to wake up and remain awake in between 2.30 and 5.30. He has his bottle about 11-ish, will then go to 2.30 have a bottle and that's it till 5.30 (after his next bottle). I know it is very early as far as establishing a routine goes, but does anyone have any tips or ideas I could try to try and shift this waking period either to earlier in the day or later in the morning?

thank you

To be honest at such a young age I dont imagine there is much you can do. Baby's dont start recognising the difference between day and night until they are about 3 months ish I think.

We didnt start a proper routine until Oscar was 6 months old which was probably a bit late though. Sorry I cant be of more help!

Mine does the same...or seems to be starting to. between 4 and 6 he just doesn't want to sleep, spent most of the time lst night when he wasn't feeding crying at me and his daddy!

Sorry I don't have any advice, but thought i would let u know ure not alone. guess they are still to young to be in a rountine. just wish I could sleep in the day to make up for the lack of sleep at night

Hiya

Matilda is the same. During the day she is an angel and will generally feed then sleep for 2 hours but this doesn't work at night. We sleep to about 12/1am and then are usually awake until 4/5am.

I'm sooo tired.
