Dear @ anon, a 6 week old baby is quite young and will not have the capability of sleeping the entire night. U can expect 3 hours of sleep stretch if baby reaches good weight fast .

The sleep pattern varies dear..and the baby is too small to sleep whole night ...try to make the baby cozy by covering if any chance feeling cold...<br> Give feeds in regular intervals.

Babies are just blank slates, you can begin to teach your baby good sleeping habits by establishing a <u>bedtime</u> routine once the baby settles down to the new environment. - As your baby's brain and central nervous system mature, her sleep cycles will get longer and more sleep will occur at night. Most babies adjust to the family timetable in a few months or so. - A newborn cannot eat all that much in a single feed. If you are breastfeeding, the milk gets digested quickly, which means a baby can wake up hungry and ready to fill the belly. So make sure you feed them on demand. A well fed baby, sleeps well too. - Try to nap during your baby's longer stretches of sleep. - You can assist the sleeping process by differentiating day and night atmosphere like creating a calm, dark environment at night, while letting the sunshine in during the day. - During daytime feedings, talk a lot to your baby, while at night feedings, make the surroundings quiet with as little light as possible. - Remove any item from the sleeping area that could potentially suffocate or distract a baby, cause overheating, including blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or quilts.

Darling you are expecting too much from a tiny creature .. try comforting the baby and observing his pattern.. gradually babies make a pattern of sleeping also try as the other moms suggested about day and night differentiation .. Take <u>care</u>
