My baby is 6 weeks old.He is not sleeping the whole night. He is sleeping only in the morning and is waking up frequently.I'm feeling like he is not getting enough sleep. Any suggestions on how to make him sleep.

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>
