I'd like my 10 week old DS to sleep for longer periods during the night. A huge part of me thinks he will gradually sleep for longer as he grows but then I hear of lots of bubs even younger than DS who are only waking a couple of times or even once a night. DS will sleep anywhere from 2-5 hours (5 hours being rare) when he 1st goes down after his bath and feed but then will wake for feeding every 2-3 hours. I have thought that maybe he is waking because he is really hungry or maybe it's just because he is waking and not being able to go back to sleep or he is just used to being fed that often? He feeds well and then goes back down pretty easily too. So I'm posting in the gentle parenting section because we don't let him cry or go hungry just for the sake of stretching out feeds so is there any way to get him sleeping longer periods without putting him and us through stress?
