Wow!! All this pressure I've had from people to force sleeping at night. Making me feel like a failure. This has really helped me feel more relaxed and not feel like I'm doing it wrong. Thank you.

Wow, that's a great baby care video. I was actually just looking for a video on that topic, my only other thing was how to make a baby sleep while traveling in a coach or bus, which has a lot of noises and the pressure those huge glasses create even I can feel that. How the baby would resist the glass pressure coming from both sides? By the way thanks doctor. Pediatrician is a godly job you do.

I have a dumb question. I am a new father of a 3 month old girl. She always has troubles falling asleep. We really keep an eye on her when she gets drowsy but she simply refuses to sleep try as we might. Then she enters that state where she is over-tired and can't sleep again. Today she was awake for about 3 and a half hours and only slept for about 30 minutes before waking up again.
Are we doing something wrong? She was fed, diaper changed, I tried to lull her to sleep by singing her a lullaby, but nothing helped. Have you guys experienced something similar and how did you handle it? Any advice is more than welcome.

My 7 weeks newborn slept for 7 hours without waking up for feeding last night. I did not set up an alarm to wake him up for feedings because he’s usually waking me up to eat and I slept throughout the night too. I will set up an alarm for feedings moving forward. Should I be concerned about it? He usually sleeps well during the night waking up for feeding every 3 hours and then going back to sleep again.

Is it ok for a baby 6weeks old sleeping for 5-6 hours at a stretch at night?
