I am a new mom of a little girl who is about 3 weeks old. I know that she is still little and won't be sleeping through the night for a couple of more months, but does anyone have any tips on how to get them to sleep through the nigh?. She only wakes up once in the night which is really good, but how do I get rid of her am feeding?
No, I said get rid of her am feeding, read my question all the way through!!
Our baby girl is 3 months old (15 weeks) and has kept a pretty regular routine thus far. Each night, she sleeps by 8:30 or 9pm and then wakes every 3 – 4 hrs to feed. She is breast-fed and has been a cheerful baby until about 3 nights ago. Now at 8:30pm, although she is clearly tired, she gets into a terrible mood and won't go to sleep. Here is what we've been doing with no success:
- Walking with her
- Singing to her
- Dancing with her
- Rocking her
- Feeding her
Also, we have always checked her diapers to ensure they are dry, her temperature to check for signs of an infection. Gripe water seemed to work for 2 nights, but really when she has no complaints with staying up — we're quite sure it is not a tummy ache. So today we took her to a pediatrician only to be told, not to worry. Final detail — she is currently sitting with my wife watching TV as if that is what she should be doing at 9pm. Are we setting too early a curfew time? Any suggestions would be welcome!
aMy baby is almost 6 weeks old and refuses to go down in her cot to sleep until the early hours of the morning. We are quite sleep deprived now and need some advice on how to get her to sleep. She also wakes every two to three hours for a feed at night (she is being breast fed), is this normal (as my first baby was sleeping 6 hours straight at 6 weeks old)? Thanks for your help.
