Mine wakes up every 3 hours and then falls right asleep...but he is very young (10 days) so I am wondering what is in store for me....

    DS went from every 2-3 hours as a newborn, to twice a night (around 1 & 4). ?Now he just nurses once, around 4. ?He falls right back to sleep afterwards, and sleeps until 7:30ish. ?It gets better!

    Most nights LO will go 3.5 hours for the first stretch, 3 hours for the second stretch, then he's up for the day 2 hours later.  This week, though, after the first stretch, he's up after an hour down.  I'm exhausted!  He just reached ten pounds, which I thought meant he could go longer at night ... not shorter!

    It changes!  Weeks 7-15 DD would go a 6-8 hour stretch at night.  For the past 2 months, she wakes every hour, but I only feed her 1-2 times, except during a growth spurt, then it's more.  Don't get too used to a routine, they constantly switch it up!
