sleeping too much

[hedgehog2000]

I have a 8 week old daughter who has taken to falling asleep after everyfeed and not waking till the next one ( 3-4 hourly). It may sound like bliss in the day but from about 7 in the evening she is wide awake and totally grizzly. She will scream the house down when I try to put her in her basket but is still grizzly when she is not. Finally settled at 11pm last night and still woke at 1 and 4 for feeds. Is this normal? Any idea how I can break this cycle?

try keeping herawake more during the day,

i had a problem withColby turning day into night

So what i done was only let her sleep for 45 mins in between each feed,
I would annoy her, tickle, her and it would be very hard and stressfull listening to her cry andscream. if she would fall asleep i would get a cold damp cloth and just go over her face to wake her up again.

Its hard work trying to keep them awake but come 7pm it was fed, bathed and into bed by 8pm and that was her till 7.30 am.

Its great as it only took 3 days of this till her routine kicked in and 5 montsh down the line were still in the same routine and its great


Hope you get a better pattern soon hun
take care
