Ds is almost 7 weeks old. Our days are pretty good and nights too, but he will not settle for bed at night. I think our afternoon may need some tweaking but I am at a loss as to how and where.
Our typical days go like this

A/E 11.00( reflux meds)

18.40 A and E around 19.00 ( reflux meds) only 90 ml
20.00 Bed but no sleep
Today

13.30 Woke, picked up to soothe and back to sleep
14.30 A/E
15.50 S
16.50 A ( Woke him) E 60 ml
17.50 S ( in buggy)
18.30 A woke by himself, reflux meds, bath
19.00 E only 90 ml
19.30 S
By 20.20 I thought I had him asleep, was holding him down through the jolts.
He is able for about 1hr 20 wake up time during the day, any sooner he wont sleep, he has no tired signs, I know his tired cry and I put him to bed and thats it, the odd time he cries for about 30 seconds but more often not.
All his bottles are about 110 except for the ones mentioned, if I give him a bigger bottle around 5 then he wont eat before bed time.
Late night feed is around 10 or 10.30 pm and in bed for 11 or 11.30. Usually wakes around 4 and sometimes can take an hour to settle.
We believe he has colic but nothing seems to help it. 2 hours after original bed time and he is now screaming in dhs arms
Would love someones insight on our schedule, I really need some time in the evening, this is when dd needs me most, dh is here to help out at the moment but leaves on a business trip on Sat for 6 long days.
