Hellobee Boards

At 6 weeks I was just trying to do a rough EASY. She would eat when she woke up, stay awake about 1 hr, and then sleep. There was no true schedule because sometimes she slept 30 minutes & sometimes 3 hours. At that age we did an evening nap still & a later bedtime. Trying to keep her up longer before bed was disastrous.

The moms on call book really helped me figure out a schedule for my Lo's. At that age, I always fed by 7. I roughly fed at 10, 12,3,6 and tanked the baby up at 9 for the night. There was usually a feed at 12 but LO could stretch to 3-4 am occasionally. In between feeds we did tummy time, played, etc. no naps longer than 2 hours.

@MrsH: holy cow, lucky mama!

@citymouse: I think lots of babies have a 'witching hour' around dinner time that they *won't* sleep; which would fit into that frame. The only other thing I can offer that is maybe helpful, and took me MANY months to come to terms with, is that even if you are a schedule person, your baby might not be. I tried so many different things, schedule attempts, etc. (although I did not do anything resembling sleep training until 5.5m) and honestly all it did was stress both of us out. Hope your baby is more manage-able though
