Babies respond to the environment like they were in before birth with relaxation and sleeping. If you keep a baby in a warm and dark area free of noise you can have a sleepy baby. If you use a bssinette you can cover it with a light open weave blanket to aid the sleeping time feeling.

@TheKelseeChannel maybe he is alergic to the milk you are giving to him? bottle nipple should be the smallest one. if your baby cries too much and you did all that you can maybe you d better check out with pediatritian if he is sick or alergic to something around him... what position do you put him at while feeding? he needs time to learn how to swallow properly...

For almost the first four weeks, my baby wouldn't sleep anywhere but with me. She's six weeks now and I'm slowly weaning her back down to sleep. Sometimes it works, but sometimes not. What is the thing you have under your baby called? I tried to find one for my baby, but didn't know what to look for. As for positioning, there are different theories. The hospital actually said to put baby to sleep on their back to reduce the chance of SIDS, some say side.

@Tzaritza Alright then, this is my first child and im 27 years old. He pukes EVERY TIME I feed him. Is the bottle nipple TOO big or something ? He doesn't breastfeed anymore since he tore the skin . so i have pumps, but he only takes 3 sips and then throws up EVERYWHERE what should I do?

@TheKelseeChannel

Thats perfectly normal! he is to young to sleep longer. every three hours give him breasts or bottle and burp him, during the day a little playing, and than putt him back to sleep. Best position for longer sleep is on belly BUT you have to watch baby ALLthe TIME in that position, If you want to rest or do something else while he sleeps best position is sideway.

Thank You Because My Son...Austin is restless and won't sleep for a thing on EARTH ! He's a 12 days old and has been home for 1 week and 3 days. He sleeps for about 3 hourrs at a time so I hardly ever have any energy.

ALSO!- you SHOULD not leave you baby to sleep on its back because babies can choke on their own vomit that way

@MrUnfranchise Even though I agree that they are dangerous (As I learned at my Prenatal Classes). However, they are not OUTLAWED in Canada. Parents can still purchase bumpers as it is sold as a set with the bedding.
