I'm So Jealous of your Sleeping Babies

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
I hear people talk about how their baby will sleep a 5 hour block, especially by almost 7 weeks, like my boys.  Still, we wake them every 3 hours to feed.  If we didn't all Hell would break loose.  One would sleep for 4 hours, the other one would do 3.  Then we'd get a half hour before the other is up for another feeding, yadda, yadda.  It would be too dang hard to try anything else.  Thinking of extending the feeding blocks to 4 hours each.  It sucks though, I have one baby who is a total hungry man, then I have a snacker.  Woe is me.

    I couldn't imagine doing this with twins! You have to be exhausted.

    The baby stage/no sleep thing seems like forever, but its just a small part of our lives. They will sleep through the night someday. I know I will miss my baby needing me so much, so I'm just trying to keep a positive attitude about it.

    At over 3 months, my baby still doesn't sleep 4 hour blocks - at least not consistently.

    I had the same problem when my boys were infants. I always debated whether i should wake the other one up to eat at the same time or let him sleep until he woke up. It never failed, if I let the other one sleep it would be like a half hour after i fell asleep he would wake up. It does get better and hopefully they will sleep through the night soon (mine didn't until 5 months and the new little guy still only goes 3-4 hours at night)
