When he was around 5 weeks old, we tried to keep Charlie awake later but he still woke up at the same time.....should we try it again? anyone have any suggestions? Right now he goes to sleep around 8:30 and wakes to feed at 10:30, 12:30, 2:30 and usually 3:30 for good. Pleae tell me what - if anything - we can do to get more sleep.....I AM EXHAUSTED!

How much does he take at each feeding? Once we started to give John more in his bottle he slept more. He usually has a bottle at 8:00 pm then will sleep to 2:30 wake up for a bottle, go back down until 5:30-6:00 for another then go back to sleep until 8:30-9:30am

he takes about 4 ounces at each feeding....i think he's just a very hungry boy....

Try giving him 5 oz, it really makes a difference, has your dr started him on cereal? You might want to throw a pinch of rice or barley cereal (kinda grind it in your hand) into his 10:30 bottle, it will make his belly feel full, hopefully giving you some extra zzz's

I hate to say it may just be the baby. Emma (exclusivly breastfed) since birth woke ever 2 hours and Jeremy also exclusivly BF sleeps through the night since birth.
Thats why they always say 'sleep when the baby sleeps'
