He is 4 weeks today so he may still be a little bit young to be on any kind of sleeping pattern, but I honestly need a good nights sleep! My Dh is a very heavy sleeper so he sleeps right through the night with no problem and since he works I have been trying to take care of Dylan all by myself at night, but I am getting extremely fatigued. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! -------------------- ~~~Dylan Zachary~~~

That's an example of what we do with Kathryn. I have to be honest at first she woke up every 2 or 3 hours, then twice when she was about a month. Sounds like he might have his days and nights mixed up. Hope you get some rest soon. --------------------

I heard that if you give them a bath at night that should relax them to sleep a little more... I also noticed that if he naps more during the day, he actually sleeps more at night. Good luck!!!

Also, when we wake to feed him at night, we wake, change him, give him his bottle, hold him for 30 minutes (because he has bad reflux), and then tuck him in. We interact with him tons for daytime feedings, but at night, lights stay low and we cuddle but we don't talk to him. I think it's working. He's 9 weeks old (3 weeks gestational age) and starting to sleep a lot more at night. He still wakes twice, though. -------------------- Kristy Married in 1996 Ander Born in March 2006
