6 Weeks Old...

Shooting star - I've been thinking about whether he's getting cold during the night... It is still very cold here.
If I can keep my eyes open long enough I may head out to grab a grobag today to try that. Does anyone use these? Do you really use them without blankets? That seems weird to me...

Ok... obviously self settling is stretching it at this age - but I thought that I would at least be able to go over and rock or pat him back to sleep. But that does not work in any way, he just goes crazy. I'm not keen on taking him to bed with us because I want DH to get some decent sleep (not that he is because G is crying so loudly he wakes him). At this point to settling him, I have been lying on the couch with him. After about 30 minutes I put him into his cradle and he is awake within 15 minutes again. As a result... I am always turned 'on' and cant get any rest.

The temperature in the room is a real possibility... I know during the night I have had 2 blankets on me in there and still been a bit cold - silly mummy... what more of a sign do you need?

It may not solve all the problems, but it could help.
