Earlier bedtime than 12am...!!!

We begin the bedtime process around 7pm. I do a bath change him into pjs, the lites are dim and then we do a bottle. After this feeding he seems drowsy at points but the minute I put him in his crib he is wide eyed. Even if I leave him in there for a while just to feel it out he will eventually work himself up to a cry and then i go get him. It take me about four more hours and another feeding to actually get him to go to sleep, which falls around midnight!!!

Am i doing something wrong or is this just his wide awake hour?

He is almost 4 weeks old, so I know they arent into a pattern much, but his daytime feeding are like clockwork between every 3-4 hours. His only time being fully awake and alert for a period of time is from 7pm-12am....

I don't think most babies settle into a sleep pattern at that point. DS was going to sleep around 11 at 4 weeks I believe. He is now 3.5 months and goes to sleep around 9--I keep trying to slowly put him to bed earlier. He just wouldn't follow any sort of routine at the beginning though. I wouldn't worry about it--he'll settle into a routine in time!
