That's so funny...our children should meet. I was trying to do the dreamfeed as suggested in the schedule but about a week ago My Husband and I stopped bacause he was impossible to wake and when he would , he would barely drink an ounce and he would still wake at 1 or two. So, we decided to try to see how far he would go w/out the dream feed. 1st night..12:50, then 5:00, then 7:45 ( I woke him). 2nd night...2:00, then 5:30, then 8:00 ( I woke him). 3rd night...2:00 then 6:00. that went on for two nights. Last night he went until 1:00 and then 6:30. He wakes up at 5:00 and talks sometimes but then falls back to sleep. He is 8 weeks on Friday so I am hoping he keep the big 7-8 hour stretch. I do wish it were from 10-6 but we may try that again later. My husband and I switch off nights (joys of bottle feeding). If he feels he can't do it, I go to bed around 8:00.
Any ideas when you can expect a baby to go 10-11 hours at night?
Now our problem is 45 minute naps, he goes down so easily in the mornings now but wakes at 45 minutes. He will sleep longer in the afternoon but fusses for about 30-45 minutes before actually falling asleep. I keep going in and putting in the paci until he finally drifts off.
Good luck to you I hope this helps!!
