    Hi all just wondering what kind of sleep pattern your little ones have during the day?? My lad likes to stay awake for a while after feeds but then gets over tired and hard to settle. I'm not sure how much sleep he should be getting during the day. He's 5 weeks now

    Should be sleeping about 16/17 hours per day at this stage.

    No sleep and have to have dinner with MIL and SIL who I'm fit to kill.. Can see this day ending well.. MIL threw a strop because I was winding Lucy and wouldn't hand her over when she was 2 days old and left after 5 mins (only time she seen her) and SIL never came that day still hasn't met her and she's 5 weeks old. Already in my bad books for not coming to Jack's christening last year..

    Breath 1,2,3.................

    She's 5 weeks and started at nearly 3 weeks.. But she feeds well.. My little guy was not a good feeder so didn't do so well on the sleeping until 6 months or so..

    Wow that's great 😊 hopefully we are nearly there on the sleep front!! Little man is lactose intolerant too so since changing his formula we have a different child!! So happy for him. The poor mite was in pain after every feed....

    Yeah she'll grow out of it.. Just don't know when.. She was born the 20th.. I find that you can help a little but they'll only do it if they want to there stubborn

    April the 18th here too.
    She had her 6 week check up today and is under weight but I am not too worried as she loves food and one of her sisters is tiny.
    SHe sleeps anywhere between 6 and 8 hours at night and the 16month old sleeps 7pm-8am so sleep wise it is not too bad unless there is a 5am feed that I can not go back to sleep after!!

    I always let them set their own routines and they stick to them until the next growth spurt or teething!!

    What are the signs of growth spurt? We're on bottles here. Was awake most if last night grunting n groaning and generally not happy. Hoping it's a growth spurt and we're not reverting back to pre lactose free formula!!

    It could be anything , but I would not worry unless it continues .

    I am wondering are we going to have to switch to special formula .she is definitely not allergic to it but there might be an intolerance .

    Soooooo jealous of all the babies that sleep so well!! Louis is 7 weeks old and still feeds 2-3 times a night... He's breast fed though, I know that a lot of breastfed babies don't sleep through for a while...

    Luke is swamping 6 ounces in his bottle and then only going 2 and a half hours between feeds... might have to ask PHN about switching to hungry baby formula and infacol, he's on comfort at the moment and doing well apart from the appetite!!

    He's very snuffly though, poor baba!

    My PHN recommended calpol saline nasal drops for my daughter when she was snuffly so it's worth a try.

    Oh my god I am soo jealous! Zora is 4 weeks old now but not sleeping properly at all. She cries all the time! She's breastfed, so during the day she feeds about every two hours, but she cries after every feed and sometimes cries and fusses and only sleeps a few minutes and then she wakes ready for the next feed again. We gave her Infacol for two weeks but only noticed a very small difference. It helped her burp, but she was still crying a lot. She mainly does it in the evenings and during the night. Last week I went to the pharmacy to get more Infacol, but decided to try something different. I got her Dentinox Colic Drops (Its a gel really and comes with a spoon which is so not handy for a baby!). She absolutely hates it, but I have to say it makes her burp quickly and she farts a lot now. The last two nights she even slept for 3-4hours at a time...which brings me to my next problem...She will only sleep on my chest. She won't sleep in her cot, in our bed or even her car seat (except for when we're in the car). I can sleep, but it's not proper sleep and himself has been on the couch for two weeks already. I am sooo tired! I can't wait for the weekends so he can take her after she's fed. What am I doing wrong?
