3 week old baby sleeping schedule?
Well i was wondering if i can get my 3 week old daughter on a sleeping schedule? Or is it way to early for that? My husband says its a stupid idea because she is to young to know day from night and he thinks that every time after she is fed changed and burped we should put her down to sleep, But i feel that she needs to be awake for a certain amount of time during the day so she doesn't stay awake at night am i wrong or is he?
Would you want your baby sleeping in a moses basket thats?
...been in the loft for over 20 years. Filthy and dusty. Who knows what germs have been in the attic for that long? Even if it does get cleaned, its still not good as its very hard to PROPERLY clean something like that.Or would you rather it sleep in a brand new one thats clean and safer?Reason I ask is because the mother in law wants it to sleep in the old one thats shes had in the attic, and my parents have brought us a brand new one. My fiancee wants to use the old one as he thinks its special, but I don't think thats very hygenic for the baby.
How was your baby sleeping at 10 months? mine is not sleeping well?
My baby girl used to sleep 7 10 hours at a time and since she got her teeth st 7 months she hasnt slept that well since except for a few random times she wakes up at all hours sometimes every hour and i have to feed her to get her to go back to bed. nursing i used to be able to just pat on her back if she woke up and she would go back to sleep..not so much any more. i cant just let her cry it out because she sits up now and crawls around her crib screaming until i get her....anyone have any advice or sympathize? my dr said to not let her nap during the day, but i cant because she gets tired and needs naps, and even when she doesnt get good naps she doesnt sleep well.....i could really use some help here moms....especially since i am the one doing all the the baby lifting around here.....

How was your baby sleeping at night at 7 months old ?
Help need advise, is my baby sleeping far too much?
for the last two days my baby seems to be just so tired, she is 7 weeks old today and yesterday she pretty much slept the entire day, and so I thought she would be awake all night but she wasn't, she slept all night too and now today it seems to be the same pattern, she just seems so tired.I am waking her every 3 hours for a feed and she is taking the whole feed no worries, and I try to play with her a bit, she might stay awake for about half hour to an hour and then she fall asleep again. she's having wet nappies and had a poo and everything, she just seems so tired.could it be from the hot weather we have had of late? she did not sleep very well with those hot nights.should I be worried? we had her at the hospital last night but as soon as we got there she was awake and alert and did not want to sleep, little bugger.
How do you sleep when the baby sleeps if the baby almost never sleeps?
Okay so everyone says " sleep when the baby sleeps" But what do you do if the baby almost never sleeps?It was so bad before she was actually only getting up 1 time in the middle of the night to eat, around 2. She would eat at 10, 2, and 6....overnight .But the other day I ended up in the hospital overnight, the night I came home she was fine but from the next morning on, she has been really really fussy.She isn't sick or anything like that.But after she has had her bottle about every 15 to 20 minutes she cries. I'm talking inconsolable cries. She does this until about an hour before she needs to eat again. She hasn't done this until this past saturday. Granted she is only 11 days old And since then its been a pretty constant thing. I know only 2 days but when you are going on next to no sleep it seems a lot longer I'm almost wondering if she is getting tummy aches. after she finally poops she calms down. Which can be anywhere from a half hour after she eats to 3 hours after she eats. So basically it can be an hour before its time to eat again before she calms down and we go through it all again.She wasn't a fussy baby until I went to the hospital. She stayed with my parents Any idea how to help soothe her? She doesn't even want her pacifier during all this.ThanksShe goes to the pediatrician this week so I am going to be talking to him, I fear it might be colic. It runs in the family both sides I think . My poor husband was up all night with her too and he had to go into work today poor guy. My mother helped out before but she is back to work too.....so I'm flying solo this week and recovering from a kidney infection that hospitalized me So it may seem worse to me than it really isShe is formula fed
Where does your baby sleep?
I have a 2 month old who at first slept in a snuggle nest then around 5 weeks it seemed like he didn't like it anymore. Seems uncomfortable in it. I'm worried about SIDS so I don't want to have him sleep in a crib or bassinet. Lately he has been sleeping in his bouncer at night and in the daytime on the bed since I can keep checking on him often while i do things around the house. Is it ok to have him sleep in the bouncer instead of a crib at night?
Does anyone have tips on making a baby sleep through the night?
From the time my baby girl was born until she was about 2 months old, she slept day in and day out. I didn't like her sleeping that much because it didn't feel like we had a baby yet and it worried me. After those 2 months passed, she was barely taking naps which were once to twice daily for about 10 mins each time but she was only waking up once a night to eat then she'd fall asleep right after her bottle. In the past couple months, she's been napping about an hour around lunch time then another 20 mins or so around supper time. She goes to bed between 8 30pm 9 00pm but doesn't sleep for very long. This is where it's starting to be really hard on me because I go to school and I work full time, all these night time wakings have left me exhausted. My boyfriend's usually the one that takes care of her during the night, so it's not like I'm alone but I can't go back to bed until I know she's sleeping again so I might as well be the one who takes care of her during the night. My boyfriend could sleep through it all while I'm too worried about everything so I wait until she's asleep before I go back to sleep. In the past couple months, she's been waking up more and more every night and doesn't want to go back to bed. She sleeps from about 9pm until 12am, eats falls back asleep but then wakes up every 1 to 2 hours after that. She's not getting up to eat because she barely has milk when she wakes up, she's just ready to get up and go play I think. She the total opposite of what my son was like. He used to sleep his nights, from 8pm until 8am every single day from the time he turned 2 months old. I guess he must of loved his sleep. Is there any tips you could give us to help my 7 month old baby girl sleep through the night? We as parents are getting to the point of total exhaustion.
If your baby slept in you room, how soon did you move them to there own room?
My daughter is 3.5 months old and sleeps in a bassinet next to me and my husbands bed.She sleeps 7 8 hours a night. HOWEVER every little sigh, sneeze,cough,coo etc, my husband is out of bed and jumping to her every little noise. I love having her close to me knowing that I can respond to every every need. She has her own room right across the hallway from us. But I am still hesitent to put her in her crib over night. I put her in her crib for naps.When did you move your child over?
3 month old baby sleeps constantly.?
My son is a little over three months old and he sleeps constantly. He goes to bed between 8 30 and 9 30 every night, sleeps until about 8 am, eats a 6 oz bottle and goes back to sleep until about 10 30 or 11 00am. Then he's up for no more than an hour, eats and goes back to sleep for 3 4 hours, and so on. Basically, he is rarely ever awake more than an hour at a time. He eats perfectly fine, is gaining weight well, and meeting all normal milestones, babbling a lot when awake, etc. He just wants to sleep all the time I have a 3 year old too and I don't remember him sleeping this much at all. Anyone else experience this?
Does your baby sleep with you in your bed?
Our son sleeps with us and at first I thought maybe it was a bad habit but now I absolutely adore it The only thing is I am not sure until what age he will sleep with us...lol Did you experience this and until what age? Some people are telling us that he will still be sleeping with us when he's 7 years old. Initially he goes down in his room and then at 4 or 5 sometimes earlier he comes in our bed. He's not 14 months old.
When do babies sleep for 8-10 hours straight?
I have a 10 week old baby that is doing very good at night. He goes to bed around 9 30 or 10 00 after his last bottle and sleeps until about 2am. He drinks another bottle and goes back to sleep until it's time to get up at 6am. I'm not complaining at all because once a night at his age is great. However, I am looking forward to getting a full night's sleep myself and was wondering what the norm is for sleeping that long straight for babies. He just turned 2 months last week, but he was a month early being born. So, if he had been a full term baby, he would have just turned 1 month old last week. He is drinking 4 ozs. every 3 4 hours right now. It probably won't be long until he is taking 6 ounces at a feeding because he is starting to finish the 4 ozs. quickly and fusses like he wants more. I have been giving him an extra ounce or two when he does this, but it's not every feeding. Please provide your experience on when your baby slept at least 8 hours straight at night. I know all babies are different, but at least that will give me an idea. My baby weighed 9lb. 13 oz. at his 2 month checkup last week.
HELP! Why won't my baby sleep?
Up until about a week ago, he was sleeping great. He was taking good naps, he was sleeping most of the night, only waking up twice to eat, and then going right back to sleep, and I'm okay with that for now, he's not quite four months old yet. But starting about a week ago he started taking really short naps. He would only sleep for a half hour instead of the two hours he used to. He just wakes up and he is obviously tired, and then won't go back to sleep. Well today he hasn't slept for more than 15 minutes at a time, and I was only able to manage to get him to do that about three times. So since about 7 this morning until finally around 8 30 this evening, he has had less than an hour total of sleep, when he is used to having 4 6 hours of sleep. It took me about two hours to get him to go to sleep this evening. We usually have a good routine and he goes right to sleep, but nothing is working. I understand why it took so long to get him to sleep tonight. He was way overtired so he just could not sleep. But how could he not be tired if he hasn't taken naps all day. He's been exhausted since his first nap was cut short. I did everything I could to get him to go back to sleep. He already sleeps swaddled, he will never sleep at all without being swaddled. The house is quiet, he has a humidifier, I've tried bathing him, my mom suggested lavender might help him to relax enough to go to sleep, I tried going for a car ride, but he hates the car and it just got him worked up even more...I've tried just letting him cry it out, but that was a huge disaster ... So I guess my question isn't really how to get an overtired baby to sleep, but how to prevent this problem from happening. His first nap I got him before he was overtired. We went through our nap time routine like we always do, and he went right to sleep. But after 15 minutes he wakes up screaming and won't go back to sleep again. All day he's been cycling through being extremely irritable, screaming inconsolably exhausted and near sleep, and then randomly being happy for about 20 minutes. He doesn't seem to be in any pain at all. He is breastfed, and has never had any problem with colic. He's been sleeping for about half an hour now which is the most he's slept at one time all day. I can't deal with another day like this. ... ugh, he's waking up even now as I'm writing this... What's wrong? ? ? Alright I just gave him some tylenol and nursed him back to sleep. He wasn't really hungry and I usually avoid nursing him to sleep, but at this point I would do anything to get him to go to sleep. I don't have any idea what the tylonol would be for, he doesn't have a fever or anything, but I figured I should cover all my bases just in case. I really don't know what to do. ... well, that didn't last long, he's awake again. HELP
