Getting a Baby to Sleep Longer Through the Night.

Just wondering if anyone had any tips, techniques, advice on getting a baby to sleep longer through the night. I have a 7 week old who was sleeping 5 to 6 hours through the night but now is starting to only sleep 3 hours. He does wake up sometimes because he has gas (any advice on that would be helpful too - I think if he didn't have gas he might be sleeping longer too). I breastfeed him and he sleeps in a bassinet right next to me (and every sound he makes tends to wake me up). Thanks for the help.

Still Swaddling and Co-sleeping at 5 Months

We are still swaddling my 5 month old daughter (in the Kiddopotomas SwaddleMe) and putting her in a co-sleeper next to my bed. She is sleeping great - a 10pm to 7am stretch of solid sleep. However, I'm getting anxious that we should stop the swaddling and also put her in her own crib in her own room. People are telling me it's "time". I'm starting work next week, so don't want to make too many changes in her life right now. But I admit she is getting a little too big for her co-sleeper. I also think the swaddling is is affecting her...

What Do You Really Need for an Infant?

So it's been 8 years since I last had a baby to care for. I am expecting again and am at a loss for what I really need and trying to prioritize. I have looked at many registries and think they include a lot of frivolous items (wipe warmers ect) So if you could go back in time and know then what you know now, what are your must have items. When I say I have nothing I mean not one baby item at all. I know I'll need a crib, clothes, ect. I also plan on breastfeeding, so I will need a pump for when I return to work and there are so many to...

9 Week Old Baby Sleep Habits

my 9 week old son will not stay asleep unless in the ergo baby or right next to me. we started co-sleeping by accident when he was only a few weeks old. i fell asleep while nursing him and found that he slept for 3 hours at a time. it was great so i kept it up. soon after we purchased a Summer co-sleeper for a safer co-sleeping option. at first he would sleep there from 8-12 pm after being swaddled and nursed, but only a week later, he would wake after just a few minutes of being put down, even if his limbs were limp (as suggested by...

Active Baby Doesn't Want to Nap

my son is 3 weeks old and he is very active. he just doesn't want to sleep during the day. i don't have a problem with this other than the fact that he cries every time i put him down. i would love to hold him all day but it's not practical. i'm lucky to get something to eat during the day and showering is out of the question if my hub isn't home. any suggestions? i have tried a warm bath but that just seems to wake him up more.

How'd You Do Infant Naps??

Was wondering how others mommys went about their baby's nap times? My third baby is now 4 months old. She sleeps through the night, but won't sleep more than 20 min alone during the day. If held, she'll sleep up to three hours, (done one lazy day)! She's nursed, so she falls asleep eating, so I can't just put her down drowsy. My first son I held for every nap until he was three, loved it! Second son around 10 months he'd fall asleep in my arms, than I'd lay him in his crib. I'm just too busy now and need her to fall asleep alone.

A Binky Problem...

My daughter is just over a month old and I cannot get her to sleep at night. She seems to fight it. She gets so grumpy around 8 pm so I try putting her to bed. First we rock until she falls asleep so then I take her and lay her in her pack n play. (she is still sleeping in my room) As soon as her binky falls out she starts crying. She will continue to cry until I go in and put it back in her mouth. I have tried to let her fall back asleep on her own but she just gets so upset that it doesn’t happen. We go through the binky ordeal...

Sleeping Thru the Night??

Am I expecting too much? Our daughter is 6 1/2 weeks old, and we are feeding her every 4 hours. She takes about 4-5 ounces at every feeding. She usually naps a little between the 7am and 11am feeding and then takes her long nap between 11am and 3pm. She usually dozes off to sleep around 8:30pm and we wake her at 11pm to feed her. after that it is very hit or miss for sleeping. Sometimes she sleeps til 3 some til 2:30. Then she goes back to sleep after she eats til about 6am. Am I expecting too much that she be headed towards sleeping thru...
