Will I ever get good nights sleep again!?

[sherilee]

Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone else has any tips on getting them to
go longer at night. I bath Zach (4 weeks and 4 days old)and put him to bed at 7.30 and then it
goes one of two ways

1, He wakes at 11/12 ish and then 3ish and then 5.30ish for dummy (then every
half hour again for dummy till we get up and its the ONLY time of day he will wake for a dummy - he has one for naps but its falls out and he then sleeps for the right amount of time. We are following 3 -3.5 hour easy from 7am and I am just following his hunger and sleep cues).

or

2, same bed time, dreamfeed at 10.30/11, wake again at 2 and
then 4.30 for feeds and then again at 6 ish for dummy

He only seems to take 2 ounces at each night waking tho - no matter what I try
to get him to have more he just wont and falls back to sleep and I CANNOT wake
him! Im soooo tired and need a good nights sleep!

Love Sherilee

Hi Sherilee, for a 4wks old it just sounds pretty normal to me. They need night feeding and a bit of comfort TBH.

Have you try tanking up at 9? Good luck for the later weeks though.

sounds very normal for 4 weeks & 3.5hour EASY may be too long, many babies are still doing 2.5h at 4 weeks
