this is his schedule give our take two hours, but aside from night = day and vice versa, he may even be an angel baby, who knows? we try gripe water at night also. we calm him in our arms and sh/pat him to be, he wakes, we re-try, about 30 times until he is ready for his next feed. he does this until he can't take anymore (3-5 cycles of 2 hrs) and then falls asleep on teh next feed, at around 4-6 am, then sleeps the day through.
please please help, i read her first book and nothing about changing night shifts to day shifts.
ah!
best,
galia
