Adrienne Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Fantastic news and yes that feed, change, play, feed works unbelievably well. I am so happy for you and I am so impressed that other mothers (I assume they are mothers on here and not dads) have said publicly that it is not easy with a young baby. Well done everyone. Just persevere with the day time as well and the little one will settle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I am also the parent of a nine week old. Sorry I cant really help you as I am learning myself, but what works for us is a Lazyboy. We sit and rock until he is deep asleep then place him in his bassinet with meditation music playing. We just persisted and then gave in and offered him a dummy. He falls asleep with the dummy then we remove it. We currently find he sleeps in 4 hour stretches at night but hardly during he day. Frontpack is a marvoulous thing as it enables us to continue to go about household stuff while he sleeps. Goodluck. I feel your pain.

Carlos & Siran Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Just wondering whether demand feeding vs regimental makes a difference with sleep patterns....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pufferfishnz Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 ive found demand feeding is better for my girl. babies tend to cluster feed early evening so they can sleep longer at night. i have also found that if i wake her before she is ready she gets seriously grumpy and it is also hard to get her to feed and she tends to fall asleep while feeding. i know different things work for different babies but thats just what ive found.
