This is fake. No six week old is on that kind of schedule.[/quote]

Not fake and it is not a schedule it is what he is doing this week next week or even tomorrow could be different. Though his big sister was a super easy baby like this throughout infancy the others not so much it is what it is[/quote]

Where are the parents?[/quote]
