On a different note I'm wondering how much is too little sleep for an 8 week old. DS does sleep pretty well at night. He tends to sleep 10:30pm to 4:30am ish then 5:30am to 8:30/9ish am(before the last 2 nights) but at 8;30/9 does not want a feed...if offerred he will take a few sips and then pull away. He has a little cuddle in bed with me and plays. He wants a feed around 10 and will not go down for a sleep until 11:30/12 ish and his sleep is unsettled with frequent waking. I know this is way too long for him to be awake at 1 stretch but he will not do it any other way...he will not go to sleep before the feed or straight after the feed or even after just a very short playtime. He then has unsettled sleep till about 2pm prob has max 1.5, maybe 2 hours sleep. He has another feed, has a play and goes to sleep about 3 - 4. Again often unsettled sleep with frequent waking. Wakes about 5:30ish. He will then not sleep at all or at the most maybe 45mins between 6ish feed and 9:30/10ish feed. I do wait for his tired signs and all that before starting to get him to sleep during the day.
This doesn't seem like enough to me and he seems to get himself overtired all the time but even if put down to sleep earlier he will not sleep well during the day or in the evening. I feel he's not getting enough quality sleep and that in itself is affecting his sleeping in general. Is there a point where an 8 week old is not getting enough sleep?
