No, unfortunately there's not. Your baby is waking up because s/he is hungry and needs a clean diaper. I've read where people start giving their baby cereal in a bottle before bed to help them sleep. A young baby's digestive system isn't made to handle solid foods at such a young age...breastmilk or formula contains all the nutrients your baby needs for the first several months of life. Loading a baby up with solid food that she's not ready for just so you can get some sleep is pure selfishness on your part. I mean, not YOU personally...but people who suggest this. Anyone who has any common sense knows that the first several months with a baby are the hardest (as far as getting sleep, deciphering what your baby wants, etc.) Take heart...eventually your baby WILL sleep through the night.

Personally, my oldest is 12, my youngest is due in Aug. I have yet to have a good night sleep :) Hang in there, it does get better, but not until the baby learns to sleep longer. There isn't much you can do until they can go longer without feeding. Music may help soothe for a little bit, something classical is good. Things with a steady beat that reminds the baby of a heartbeat are good too. Others may say to start on baby cereal, but this HAS NOT been proven to be good for the baby at such an early age.

This is really controversial since most doctors shun upon it but...supplement with a very small amount of rice cereal before bed. If you formula feed, you can add little less than a teaspoon of rice cereal to the bedtime bottle (usually 4-6 ounces of formula). If you breast feed, pump about 4-6 ounces of milk and mix in with a little less than a teaspoon of rice cereal. You may have to cut a slightly bigger hole in the nipple of the bottle to allow the cereal to get through.
I did this with my son and my family has being doing it for many years and my sisters have done the same. My son was formula fed and is now 2 1/2 and is very healthy, gets a clean bill of health from our pediatrician, has only been sick once in the past 2 1/2 years, I am a type 1 diabetic who carried him full term and without complications and I am a stay-at-home mom.
Good luck and many wishes for a full night sleep.

Your baby will sleep all night when she/he is developmentally ready. This is typically between 6 and 12 months old. Just like you can't make her/him walk before her body and brain are ready for it, you can't make her/him sleep. What you *can* do (and please *don't*!!) is teach your baby that you won't care for her/him when it's inconvenient for you, so don't even bother.
Undoubtedly, many people will suggest you do just that--say let baby "cry it out". It is not good for the baby physically; when left to cry alone, she/he will secrete cortisol (a stress hormone), even *after* the crying stops. So baby's system will be forced into "stress management" mode when she/he needs to be growing and developing instead. It also may not work.
I would suggest trying something else instead... Bring baby into your bed to sleep (but see sources section below). This way, she/he doesn't have to fully wake up when she/he needs you. As soon as baby stirs a little, you can nurse her/him back to sleep--often without waking up yourself.
I remember a pediatrician saying to parents, "You expect me to be available to your child he needs me in the middle of the night. Shouldn't you expect that of yourselves?"

Poor poor fellow. I cant understand your plight. The situation will improve when your baby is about after six months when you can change the babys sleeping habits and daytime sleep hours to night sleep. till then both the parents take turns at sleeping atleast five hours each night while the other parent remains awake.

I started feeding my daughter baby oatmeal right before bedtime at 2 weeks. She stayed asleep all night long. The reason why babys wake up is becasue the either need food or changing.
Good Luck

Sleep in a different room. If you wife sits on her ... all day long then she can sit with the child. A man doing all of the work outside the home and half inside it is not equality- it's mass exploitation of the male.

Put just a little bite of baby cereal in his last bottle before he/she goes to sleep, make sure that it is a little warm and bathe your baby in baby night time

try putting some cereal in his bottle before putting him to bed so he has a full belly that should help him sleep better.
