Answer 2

Around 8pm our baby is still awake, that's when my husband uses that time to play with him a little bit before heading to bed because he gets up early and is gone till 4pm. He usually has his last feeding for the night between 8:30-9pm and than sleeps till about 3-4am, and than again wakes at about 6am and than wakes up for the day around 7-7:30am. He's a breastfed baby so I don't know how many oz. he gets at each feeding, but obviously enough to keeps him satisfied through the night. He also had a fussy period around 5-6pm, but than we realized that he was just tired, so I rocked him and he fell asleep for a little cat nap. He doesn't get fussy anymore. Your baby is still very young, he won't get into any kind of a true routine till about 2-3 months. Atl least mine didn't at that age. We try to keep his routine the same everynight, he seems to be really thriving on that and it's working for our family. I'm sure it will change, but for now he's pretty good. We don't evene inforce it or anything, he's just used to it I guess.

Answer 3

My daughter is 5 months old. From 8-8:30 we play some. Then she gets her bottle at 8:30 and is sleeping by 9 at the latest 9:30. She wakes up one time during the night to eat.

Answer 4

hi hun

i dont know if u have heard of this in America but it could be called colic which a lot of babies get, its like trapped wind that gives them a really bad tummy ache.
this normally happens in an evening and the baby tends to bring there knees up to there chest when they cry.

i found the best way to help this is to try n wind your baby 2/3times during each feed and to rub there back n tummy gently when they seem to be in pain also a warm soothing bath can help.
in the UK we also have some medicine called infacol which helped my son a lot

I'm sorry to tell u this but its just a thing that happens to most babies and cant be cured but it can be eased a bit but on a good point it normally disappears when the baby is about 3 months old

speak to your doctor or pharmacist about colic and they should be able to give you some suggestions

good luck Hun xx

Why does he scream? I hope you're not trying to put him on a bedtime schedule already. He's WAY too young for that. At that age, he needs you when HE needs you. If you let him scream himself to sleep, he'll be scared and lost. It's a big world for an infant who has only been in it for a month. He needs to know that you're there with him.

It's like when you see puppies who don't have their eyes open yet, wandering in the box, looking for their mother. They just feel around and cry out because they're lost and afraid. You don't want him to feel that way. He'll get on a schedule soon enough, but right now he's not ready.

Mine is 4 months old now. She goes to sleep for the night around 10:30, wakes at around 5:30AM, takes a bottle and goes right back to sleep until 9 or even later sometimes. Now, we work second shift so her schedule is a little different than most, but she's doing well.

At 5 weeks, she would wake up every 3 hours and eat, and stay up for 45 minutes or so before falling asleep again. That went on all night and day until she was around 9 weeks old. Then she started sleeping longer and being awake longer. When she was tired she'd rub her face on my chest and sort of cry in a frustrated way. Then I knew she was tired, so I'd either rock her or just carry her until she was ALMOST asleep. Then I'd lay her down and put her 'glow bear' on (glow in the dark teddy bear that changes colors) and she'd be out in about 10 minutes.

Around 8 is when we're getting our 8 month old daughter ready for bed. Then she gets her nighttime bottle, we brush her tooth, and put her to bed. Sometimes she fusses for a little bit, sometimes she just drops to sleep. It's unusual for her to wake up in the night; when she does, we give her a drink of water and she's good.

Answer 7

He is still to young to sleep the night. Babies need to eat when they are hungry. While you pregnant I'm guessing you ate little and often he probably picked it up. He probably would like you to hold and swaddle him too, Not just put him to bed he is still to young,Babies need their moms love, They are used to be feed and warm in your womb. Try to make him feel that same way. Also make sure he is not hungry before sleeping then he will wake up more often because he is hungry but to tired to stay awake and eat.

Answer 8

Be patient and don't expect him to fall asleep that early every night. He is way too young for that. And its normal for baby to wake every 2 to 3 hours to eat during the night.

Answer 9

Eat
Sleep
