Question
Nightime Issues
My 9 week old sleeps pretty good during the day and once he is down at night he only awakes for feedings and goes back to sleep. Its GETTING him to go down at night that is the issue. Everyday its the same thing: around 6:30 he gets cranky and tired and I rock him and he falls asleep. I put him down and 10 minutes later he is awake. Then its 3-4 hours of hell to get him to go back down. He wants a bottle, then he doesn't, he falls asleep then wakes up. And he is usually crying the whole time. Any suggestions on how to make going to bed a little easier?

I read "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and it saved me when I went through this with my daughter. It's a great help!!!
Brina 123 suggestion about "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child". by Marc Weissbluth, was a good one. Best sleep book, talks about the schedule. Start now before it is too late. People who say schedules are bad, are insane, unless they don't have to work and can nap when their child does.
My 14 month old goes to bed at the same time everynight 630-7pm and sleeps until 7am or later. Granted sick/teething are exceptions. Just remember your baby needs you set the guidelines, if not, you get what you deserve when your 5 year old will not go to sleep until midnight.
