Hi Willow, Just wanted to pop in and say that your baby definitely NORMAL!! We have plenty of days like you have described. Kieran had an unsettled night (feeding more frequently) last week and it was just a growth spurt. The annoying thing is at this age that every day is different so some days they will sleep like a dream and others they have us pulling our hair out!

You are doing a great job teaching your little man to sleep. They don't know how to do it properly yet so this is just a training period (I tell myself this every day LOL!). Stay positive, you will get there when your bub is good and ready, don't compare him to anyone else or you will drive yourself crazy. Say positive words to him as you settle him like "good boy, you are such a good sleeper", it is amazing how calming this is for both of you. When I finally let go and just relaxed about our sleeping issues, everything just went so much more smoothly.

Remember that all little babies have one restless time of day every day and one restless day a week. This is helping me get through those bad days!

Anyway, hugs to you, keep on doing your great job!

Trish
