Colby was a bit akward for the first 3 weeks she turned day into night and vice-versa so what i done was feed her 45 mins full play (just annoyed her so much she would cry cos she was so tired) then sleep for 1 hour then awake play again then feed time again and same all day long till 7pm it was bath feed then bed by 8pm and that was her till 7.30 am it only took me 2 days of this and she followed on her own :wink: it was hard though and very tiring aswell having to listen to her cry cos she was sooo tired bless her


Hope you sort something out chick

take care

weestar did you have to wake colby during the day then for the feeds.

see Lewis goes down at eleven late i know but i have tried putting him to sleep earlier and he will not settle till the usual eleven.

on day 1 i did have to wake her yes wich made her grumpy as she was still tired because it was day time to me but she thought it was nite to her and would prob have slept all day

all you can do hun is try keep him awake as long as possible during the day, its really hard hun i know but it does pay off

Colby is still in the same routine ok she has 2 naps during the day now cos shes older

she gets up at 7am has brekfast and a drink has a snack around 11 am she goes to bed at 11.30 am and gets up by herself bang on 12.45 shes then has her lunch and back for another hour sleep at 1.30 pm and wakes on her own at 2.30 shes awake from then till 7pm and shes in bed no later than 8pm at a push.

is he a hungry baby? i mean does he feed alot? do you breast or bottle feed? sorry for the loads of questions as it could be he might still be hungry and needs either a little more milk or even be stepped up to the next stage on milk

please dont hesitate to pm me at anytime hun

Every three hours is good going for his age

Jo-anne

he is a very hungry baby gets 6 oz every three hours just put this up.

and is on the hungry baby milk (sma white cap).

weestar21

does he finnish the full 6oz or does he leave some?

im not sure what else to suggest hun as hes really too little for a teeny weeny piece of rice ( i started colby on quarter tea spoonfull of rice mixed with milk at just over 3 months as she was a hungry baby and was on aptamil extra ) if he takes all teh 6oz try him with an extra oz see how he goes if not then try keeping him awake maybe even say from 2.30 pm till 7pm? then fed and bed if that sounds ok to you?

will try wee star - think i will need to try Lewis on something else soon too - not too soon thou but he just eats and eats.

during the day he is either out in the pram or in the car so he sleeps alot - try it sounds bad to keep him awake but he prefers to be wide awake at night when mummy and daddy want to sleep lol.
