Bedtime routine for 7 week old

Laura

Hi everyone, I am curious to know everyone's bedtime routines and timings as i dont know what to do!

We tried putting our son to bed at 8pm last night, he slept for 6 hours but then was wide awake between 2 and 5am! Feeding and not settling like he usually does in his cot.

Am I being optimistic with getting him to bed at 8pm as hes only 7 weeks old or should I stick to what we have been doing (keeping him up and feeding at 9.30, change and sleep by 11pm - he will then sleep until 5/6am). I'm so confused on what to do and what's normal at this age! (I know I am so lucky that he sleeps 6 hours most nights, so I am not complaining!)
