My 6 week old DS goes down between 11pm and 1am each night. He sleeps for around 2 and a half hours, 3 if we're lucky. He then wakes for a feed, and goes back down for 1 and a half hours, occasionally 2. I feed him then and try to get him back to sleep, but nothing works, he cries and cries. The only thing which settles him is me getting up and taking him downstairs with the lights on and givimg him attention - then he's instantly all smiles. Is 4 hours of sleep a reasonable amount to expect with a young baby? He rarely sleeps in the day for more than 10 minutes at a time. Coming into bed with us used to send him off but now me getting up is the only thing which will do for him, and I'm KNACKERED!
