how are you guys getting your baby to sleep longer?!

Question

My daughter is only 7 weeks but I wanna know how the heck some of you are getting your babies to sleep such long stretches at night at this stage! Mine is waking up every 2-3 hours to eat. Any tips?! Tell us your secrets!

Answer

At that age there is not much you can do :/ try nighttime lotion before bed. I swear by it. It won't make them sleep all night but it helped my daughter sleep longer and fall asleep faster when she was a newborn. We used Johnson & Johnsons

Answer

My daughter sleeps 5 hour stretches now and shes 6 weeks old. I notice she sleeps longer when shes swaddled up and warm, when i use her warm blankey she sleeps longer. Also the more she sleeps during the day the better she sleeps at night ❤ i would love it if she slept for like one hour longer but dont think my boobs could take it i think theyd explode lol

Answer

I read once to open the blinds during the day to show the baby that it's daytime, and to close them at night to show them it's night time. The baby doesn't come into the world knowing the difference between day and night. Call me crazy, but after 48 hours of this she was sleeping through the night and has ever since.

My doctor also said 10 pounds or one month she should be sleeping through the night. She was before that.
