Is it because the baby doesn’t like sleeping flat on his or her back? Perhaps when they do, they feel uncomfortable because they start to reflux? Is it just that you’ve always held and cuddled your baby (and why wouldn’t you) to sleep, but now you’re thinking, ‘Hmm. Try to work out why your baby has never wanted to be put down. Is that just a habit? If so, was the habit driven by an underlying digestive issue, like reflux, that your baby may have had? That’s the big question. Our 8-week old baby will only sleep in our arms at the moment, how do I change this? From now really, you’ll be able to get on track and get your baby sleeping. That’s a natural necessity of sleep the day and night split, sun and moonlight.īabies do need to sleep and will if you provide the right environment, feeding schedule and they haven’t got any underlying digestive issues. The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan has your baby of 8-12 weeks old naturally sleeping 12-hours through the night. If you haven’t started from Day-1, you can pick it up in my book and you can start to follow the routine and start to implement bits of it. Sleeping better is about getting the daytime routine in place, the right milk, the delivery of the milk, the thickness of the milk, and the right medication if needed.Īt what age can and should we start to establish a sleep-feeding routine? Sleep position is another one that I touch on so many times - you’ll find information on this on my IGTV. Look at thickening your milk, inspect the ingredients, and ask is your baby intolerant to anything you’re giving? For example, cow’s milk, protein, or lactose. How do I get a 3-month old with silent reflux to sleep better? I would urge you to read the last chapter in ‘ The Sensational Baby Sleep ’ and look at all the information on the Instagram, especially on IGTV. The reflux could be causing more of a problem than you imagine and causing her to take shorter naps due to an uncomfortable digestive system.

the baby should be able to sleep comfortably, feed easily and there shouldn’t be too many effects of it - it may be just a mild bit of spit up here and there which doesn’t cause them distress or stop them from having a full and comfortable feed. If it’s not bad enough for medication then it shouldn’t be causing too many problems, i.e. How do you get a 6-month old to take longer naps? I don’t think her reflux is bad enough for medication. That is the whole basis of part one in ‘ The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan ’, which if you follow, your little one will be naturally sleeping 12-hours by 8-12 weeks old. Afterwhich, through the night I don’t wake them, I let them sleep and they will naturally start to sleep longer and longer in-between feeds. That would be five feeds in the 12-hours of daylight.įor example, feeding at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and bedtime feed at 7pm. I would be looking to feed them every three hours. During the day, wake them to keep on track of the feeding schedule. However, what you need to implement is the daytime and nighttime split, 12-hours of day, 12-hours of night, and work off that basis. How much should a 3 week old be sleeping if I want to avoid her falling asleep during feeds?Īt 3 weeks, I would let her have as much sleep as she wants. Some people think they don’t sleep at all, won’t, and can’t - but they do. Sleep breeds sleep in my opinion - the more they sleep the better they sleep.
