Hi ladies,
Looking for some advice along with maybe some tips….
My little boy is 12 weeks old this Sunday but was six weeks early so is only six weeks corrected.
He’s currently having 5oz every 3-4 hours though-out the day and then 6oz on his last bottle before bed about 8/9pm.
After this bottle he always settles a really well and will sleep anywhere up to 2/3am.
We then do another feed normally about 5oz again and we up for about an hour by the time he’s fed and settled back down and when I transfer him back to his next to me he’s always in a deep sleep but everytime he’s awake again about 30/40 mins after being transferred and needs about another 30 minutes to an hour be settled back down. Sometimes for him to then wake again at 4/5am for a feed and we repeat the whole process again 🫠.
I’m not expecting him to sleep through the night yet, but how can I get him to be more settled after this night feeds and get him to stay asleep?
Thank you in advance 🩵

My son was 6 weeks early too. Issue with preemies is that they naturally have lighter sleep and sleep takes longer than average to nature. Maybe a dummy might work for you? I haven’t had any joy with sleep yet so we just gave into cosleeping as he sleeps a bit more that way!
