How do you settle a 2 week old? LOL.
Other than..
1.food
2.changing
3.rocking to sleep
4.leaving him to cry himself to sleep (never works)
5.dummy
?
I just tend to keep him eating/suckling til he sleeps, but I'm sure that's probably not the right answer
he's just so so alert and doesn't want to miss anything

Hi, my name's Becky & I GET NO SLEEP!!!!!
Austin's nearly 6 months and if he only wakes up twice in the night that's a good night for us.
He has two solid meals a day, breakfast and dinner.
He slept through for 5 days in a row when he was about 4 months? old but then started teething and that was the end of that. He now has 4 teeth so I'm hoping we get a break from teething and can learn to sleep again!!!
I really don't want to have to leave him to cry, I hate the whole idea of it. He's a baby and it's his only way of communicating. Is there any other way of encouraging him to sleep through?

I'm in exactly the same situation as you! Brody woke twicw last night and that was a very good night!
He has only just got his first 2 teeth theses last 2 weeks so could be a while yet!
Hope Austin starts sleeping better for you soon!
To all the exhausted mummies!
i wish I had internet at home so I could come on her when Im up with oran!
He ranges from waking anything up to 20 times a night but each time going back off when I out him back on his side and pop his dummy in. To waking up once but being up for 1-2 hours (usually like 3am till 5am or something) from waking up 3-4 times, taking about half hour each time to get back off with me rocking him!
I think he has been worse this past week cause of teeth as I can see one peeping though, he does not cry when he is awake though but just has a temp and wont sleep.
Im off to look for a cot bed tomorrow, sod having no room in the bedroom and if prospective buyers cant see past a bloody cot then there thick lol so Im hoping he might be comfier with a proper mattress etc - then going to try getting him to settle himself off to sleep as hope if he manages that he will settle himself off if he wakes in the night as he doesnt wake for a bottle anymore just for the fun of it I think!

We had a fairly good night last night, he went down at 8:30 & I really thought I was in for a bad one when he woke up at 9:30! I managed to settle him with his dummy & his cuddly hippo & he slept until about 12:30. He was awake about 45 mins or so then slept to 4am, settled within 10 mins then woke up again at 6:40am. I brought him into bed with us and we got a lie in until 9am!
He's been a bit funny today so I think we may have a bad night, I've got a stinking cold & think he might be feeling a bit poorly too. I've got the calpol ready!

well oran took from 7.30 till 8.30 to go to sleep, woke about 12 time between 8.30 and 10.30 at which point he decided to wake up properly, I wasnt in bed yet so he got up with me and I tried to tire him out a bit, by 12 was getting grizzly so we went up to bed with a bottle, took 3oz of it and fell asleep. woke at about 4.30 - 5am and then woke a fair few times between 5am and 7am at 7am I gave up as he was wide awake so we got up.
he has his his morning nap, I thought cause he had such a bad night he would have a long morning nap but no he had half hour bang on as usual. However its only been a little over and out since he woke up and he is grizzly now so I know he is shattered but just tried to get him down for a nap with no joy what so ever!!
