Ok thanks - sorry what I meant by posting your routine is something like:
Up and E: 7am
S: 8-10
E: 10
S: 11-12
... Whatever it looks like for you - I realise it won't be the same every day but if you just give me one day's routine then I can have a think and perhaps something will jump out at me...
I do wonder about possible discomfort - the evening is a classic time for newborns being really unsettled, I'm afraid. Sometimes it's digestive, eg gas or reflux. Sometimes it's just the build up of tiredness from the day actually making it harder for them to settle. Sometimes it is just that they are hungrier - our milk supply can often drop a bit around that time of day so it's quite common actually for LOs to want to spend the whole evening feeding - so make yourself comfortable on the sofa or wherever and go with it, if that's the case (I'm not saying it is - you will know that best
) - I know it's exhausting but if you know that you're going to be feeding for ages then try and treat it as a time when you can 'relax' and have everything you need nearby. Does he seem happy feeding, or uncomfortable at all? Do work hard at burping him - I was never all that good at it, but found that putting them in lots of different positions would often help something to come up eventually.
Another thought I had was how he's getting to sleep? During the day, does he fall asleep in your arms and then stay asleep when you put him down? It's really up to you when you decide you're ready to start teaching him to go to sleep in his cot, but you may find that sometimes you either have to wait until he's in really deep sleep (usually takes around 20mins from first dropping off) before putting him down, or else you need to get him to fall asleep in his cot in the first place. If that's really not working, you could try using a sling/wrap and letting him fall asleep in that in the evening. I think I remember reading (and experiencing) that this fussy period can tend to peak around 6-7 weeks (I know, it feels like an eternity!) and then gradually get better - so hang on in there, he's still really little, so make the most of any support you have at home, take shifts during the evening if you can.
