Another sleep question
DS is 7 weeks old and sleeps in his crib for the first part of the night. However, after he gets up for his overnight bottle (usually around 3 or 4am) he won't go back in the crib. He falls asleep after the bottle in my arms but when I put him down he screams. He hates being on his back. If I put him in the boppy, he will sleep for hours. So I've been going on the couch and sleeping there with him on the boppy. I know it's bad and I don't want to keep this going but he is too young to CIO. Any advice?

Re: Another sleep question
how quickly after he falls asleep do you put him in the crib?
My DH & I find that is she cries, then she was not really asleep. Maybe he needs more time, or maybe it's reflux and needs more time upright?

I try to keep him upright for about 20 minutes after the bottle. I think I may try to use a sleep positioner with an incline. Congrats by the way on your DD sleeping so good last night!! That's awesome!

My dd slept in her boppy until she was about 6 months old. I know you aren't suppose to but she loved the way if felt.

Re: Another sleep question
do you use motion at all (a rocker, swing, or walking around the house with him in your arms)? that helps dd fall asleep after the middle of the night feedings.
