[quote=Anonymous]First of all, make sure than when you're feeding the baby, even at night, that he's getting a full feeding! If he starts to snooze during a feeding, do what you have to do to keep him awake - take clothes off, wiggle toes, talk, sing, whatever you can do to keep him alert. If he's getting full feedings he'll start to space them out. Second of all, I found that treating 10pm until about 1pm feedings as "night" feedings for ME really helped. Obviously you want to teach the baby when it's daytime, so for him you want lights on, and a very daytime mood during those morning feedings. But every time I fed him and he went back to sleep from 10pm until 1pm, I went back to sleep to. At 11am, just the same as at 4am. Especially when you're just getting an hour or two of sleep at a time, that's really the only way to survive, I found. [/quote]
