Sleeping question...

kklickka

Obviously DS is only a month old, so I'm not expecting him to STTN anytime soon (although it would be nice, lol).  My question is this:  N gets really sleepy at around 8 every night and if we let him he'll sleep for several (5ish) hours, but then wakes up every 2 or 2 1/2 hours after that.  8 is way too early for us to go to bed; I would like to get N into the habit of going to bed at the same time we do so that we can get that big chunk of sleep.  The problem is that he won't nap during the day!  I try rocking him, singing to him, everything I can think of to get him to take a nap so he won't be tired until later at night, but no matter what I do he's wide awake.

Any suggestions?  TIA

Hm, well my girl sleeps a lot (she is still very little).. she sleeps best right after nursing her.. some things that also help are swaddling her, putting her in her swing, putting some music on, rubbing some lotion on her, singing to her...hope that helps.
