  1. I love your site – thank you so much for sharing. i have a 6 week old and we are struggling with day time naps (she has from the beginning). she sleeps for some but not for all. sometimes she’s fussy the whole time, other times she just lays in the crib wide awake yet content. i’m not sure what i’m doing/or not doing. when she doesn’t not sleep, i feed her and then put her right now without wake time since she’s already been awake for 2 h. or so. she has also been waking up 1h. before the next feeding quite a bit lately – help!

  2. Love this blog! My friend recommended it and it has been so helpful! Thank you! I do have a question though – and I have searched high and low for the answer, though it was probably right in my face – I am having a hard time with waking up my 3 week old son. Not in the sense that he doesn't wake up, but understanding WHY I am waking him up. His waketime is about 50 minutes, including feedings, so he sleeps about 2 hours per nap. I am having to wake him up almost every naptime to get his next feeding in to stay on schedule. Is this what I am suppose to do? While he could probably go 4 hours in between, I shouldn't do that right? Is this to encourage sleeping through the night? He weighs about 10 pounds, big boy, and the pediatrician said we didn't have to wake him up at night (he wakes up about 4-4.5 hours). Will he eventually begin waking up on his own every 3-3.5 hours to feed during the daytime? My husband understands this better than I do; he's tried explaining it to me, but I guess firsttime mommy syndrome is making it difficult for me to see why I would wake a sleeping babe. Thanks in advance for your help!
