DS has been sleeping 4 hour stretches, basically since day 1 - At 10 weeks old, he is still doing the same.. I BF during the day, and pump.. then at night he gets a BM bottle right before bed (6 ozs). Goes down around 10:30-11 and is up around 3 and 7 every night... How can I get him to start skipping the 3:00 feeding? I have tried to give him his paci, but within 5 minutes, he spits it out and starts crying again.
Also, he is VERY difficult to put to bed at night.. sometimes it takes us 30 minutes of on and off crying, us going into his room, giving his paci back, etc.. until he actually falls asleep.. any tips?? TIA
Re: How to get 10 wk old to STTN
yes, we swaddle - but with his arms out, as he HATES when his arms are in..

I have to agree with this. My baby is 10 weeks and nowhere near STTN yet. Sometimes he will skip a feeding but mostly he's hungry at night every 3 hours. I'm not stressing about it, I know he'll do it on his own time. I don't think it's anything we're doing "wrong."

This. It is not the norm for a 10 week old to STTN.
if you are going to get up to change and reswaddle or rock to sleep than you should feed him. LO dont sleep thru the night . yes, it is alot of work but that is part of being a mom. I think you should continue to feed him.
ds #1 didnt sleep through the night until 6months and ds#2 not until 9months.
