I started 3 hr EASY with my son who turned 6 wks yesterday. Yesterday day time went on kind of smooth. He had 3 oz every 3 hours. Had around 1-1.5 hours nap between feeds. I fed him 3 oz at 4:30 and then at 6:35 pm. We usually sleep between 9:30 and 4:30. So, I put him in the bassinet @ 7:30 and rocked him until 8:00. He woke up at 11:30 took one hour for feeding and putting him back to sleep and he woke up at 2:30 took one hour to feed and put him back to sleep and then at 5:30 he was up. It looks like he got into the 3 hour routine during the night too. He woke up at 5:30 am and had only 30 minutes nap here and there. He won't sleep, I rocked in the bassinet, swaddled, walked with him on the shoulder, sang to him. He won't take a pacifier. Finally the only thing helps is putting him down on his tummy with a pacifier kind of works. But I am scared of SIDS.
He is trying to put his thumb and sometimes gets frustrated. Is it too late for him to learn thumb suckling? Is there a way I can teach him?
He is a 9 pound baby. He got 21.5 oz between 3:00 AM and 6:35 PM yesterday. What am I doing wrong? Please help! I am really tired.
My husband is willing to help but I don't want to disturb him because he has to go to work and he has some interviews.
